[QUOTE="mtntrapper1, post: 776769, member: 47396"] We teach boys how to handle themselves in the worst conditions the MTns and Mtn Rivers and canyons in the Northern Rockies. It makes them appreciate "Being Prepared". WE make sure they all have the right gear and are rigged up right to pull their sleds with gear in. Gear checks, sled checks, Snowshoe checks, food checks and we also bring a few extra things just in case. we've had -20, Rain, 3 feet of new snow overnight, and every thing in between. This is the favorite trip for most boys that go. It makes prepared young men, teaching them this stuff, and its a lot of fun and rewarding to see them do it. We team older boys with younger ones on digging caves to teach them well their first time out. Most of our boys are hunters also, so this is invaluable training for a night out with out a tent in deep snow. And -- They all have GOOD sleeping bags, use tarps under them in the caves, use vapor barrier socks, extra clothes to change into after digging a cave, and plenty of snacks for all that hard work. Most snow caves actually stay pretty warm with a couple of live bodies warming it up inside. Andy [/QUOTE]
