Last night, we went to Maquinna trails to test out some of our equipment. I learned that I should try out my hiking boots in the snow to see how they work because my work boots have steel in them which sucks the cold out of the snow and into the boots. I need to learn what type of gear I need to be able to be out in the snow for hours.
We were practicing low angle rescue which is were you lower a stretcher down a hill using ropes tied off to a tree.
To do this you need to tie a special type of note in the rope and hook it into the Cabrini on the rope around the tree.
