The Intro to Winter Skills Course by AMTAC Shooting is just that, an overview of all those important winter skills over the span of 2 days…
The course started with mobility, making our way up to the ATC (AMTAC Training Center) with packs on snow shoes. Following that, we got into melting snow for water, the importance of hydration and then into some shelter building.
The class pretty much covered all of those key points when it comes to surviving in the cold of winter. This included fire building and even some mobility aspects, like different types of skis as well as points of performance for riding Snow Mobiles. And of course there was a pistol and carbine portion thrown in.
Overall it was a great course that kept a solid pace to cover the key points in Winter Skills. A great primer for anyone planning to spend time in the mountains or to just be more prepared should they live in a place where winter comes. Because winter is not without consequences for the unprepared.
