Not all of us are climbers or wilderness trekkers. Do you know how to cross creeks, rivers, or even canals? Can you descend steep or vertical slopes? How about with all your bugout gear or tactical equipment? Rappelling with plates, pack and firearm isn’t as easy as a weekend sport climb!
You will learn how to make and will keep a basic swiss seat harness and locking carabiner and then employ these as you learn to rappel and cross obstacles.
This class will cover:
-Evaluation of terrain
-Handlines
-Anchors
-Ropes and cordage
-Harnesses – both seat and chest
-How to rappel
-How to setup and employ a traverse high line or low line
and probably more than you want to know.
Bring: Lunch, wear comfortable clothes you can move in (BDU’s/Hiking style), sturdy footwear, gloves light to medium weight (mechanix wear work), bugout or patrol pack, rifle and side arm if used, normal ammo loadout. plates if you use them, and anything else you think you will carry when you leave home. Helmets will be required and we have loaners if needed. Fluids and notetaking materials (rite-n-the rain products recommended. Headlight or handheld light, both recommended.
Contact us with any questions or concerns. This class is one of the more fun ones.
