ALERT ALERT ALERT!!!!

THIS EVENT IS BEING MOVED INDOORS!! IT WILL BE HELD AT AVIV MEDITERRANEAN RESTAURANT LOCATED AT 328 DUPONT. WE WILL MEET AT DUPONT STATION AT 2:30!!! we will then proceed to the restaurant. We will hold the seminar there

This is an outdoor seminar on winter camping where you can learn a few techniques how to weather a wintery camping scenario

We'll meet at suitable subway and head up to some Crown land in Stoufville where we will hike about a km to an area where we can set up different winter campsites and learn what it takes to survive a day and night on a winter trip. We will learn how to start a fire and share a meal and a drink or two

This event is meant to introduce campers to winter camping techniques. It will be a variation of the winter camping seminar I gave a few years ago but there will be a bit of a practical element to it. It is being held later in the afternoon so we can practice lighting some fires and experience the temperature drop
