Safe in the Woods

 Tips, Techniques and Advice for Safety and Survival

This is a BOCES adult evening course, under RECREATION

Whether you are just going out for walk in the woods or hiking the Appalachian Trail, preparation, planning and knowledge are the keys to keeping you safe “out there”. This course, based on the book of the same name, will help you avoid dangers from getting lost to encounters with large animals. Other topics include how to dress, what to carry and how to read trail markers and signs along the way. A copy of the book can be purchased during class. Each session consists of two nights in the classroom (Tuesday and Thursday) and an optional Sunday afternoon hike to put into practice what we have learned.
