The Great Escape: How to get someone out of the backcountry with the gear in your pack.

Are you a backcountry enthusiast? Do you ever consider what you might do if a friend or travel partner becomes injured and you need to move them to safety with limited resources?

If so - then this is the clinic for you. Dr. Iona Liddicoat, a wilderness and remote first aid instructor with a background in emergency medicine will guide you through several simple techniques that you could use to create three different types of stretchers. This can all be done with simple pieces of equipment that you already carry in your pack.

This clinic is the first of 4 Winter First Aid Series that will be held at the Escape Route, in partnership with Coast Medical Wilderness Training.

Tickets are $12. $5 per ticket will be donated to Protect Our Winters Canada. 

There will be prizes and great discounts on wilderness first aid courses.

Space is limited to 30, so book your ticket soon to avoid disappointment.

This is the first part of a four-part series that will be held at the Escape Route Alpine Demo Centre.

It’s back! Trailhead Paddle Shack and the ByTowne present the 43rd edition of the Best Of The Banff Mountain Film Festival.

The Best Of is a touring selection of prizewinners and highlights from the Banff Mountain Film Festival, an annual event that showcases short films on mountain sports, adventure and the environment. Many of the top award winners are featured in the show, which offers plenty of enlightenment and entertainment for anyone who loves the great outdoors.

The films are introduced by a Banff Festival representative, and the evening includes additional information on clothes and equipment for outdoor activities, along with door prizes!

The Best Of Banff shows regularly sell out; we'd add an extra show if we could, but this is a touring festival and the tour has to get to other cities. Details of advance ticket sales are below. Tickets can be refunded or exchanged up to 7 days before the event, so there's no reason to hesitate. Get over to Trailhead Paddle Shack or jump on line to Eventbrite.ca (link below) to pick up your tickets. And perhaps this is a good time to consider what you're going to give to that outdoorsy person on your Christmas list!
