Night time navigation was really interesting. I also benefited greatly from learning about warmth coming from dead space and not layers. It was a really interesting concept around thermal exchange that I wouldn't have known about if I wasn't told. The extended map and compass work was really really great, and I am happy to have that knowledge now

The course covered everything I need to feel much more comfortable in the wild! My favorite part was practicing navigation with our compasses, and I most enjoyed learning about pitch wood and using the resources surrounding us.

Jessie... I loved damn near every element of the experience. I don't feel like I've ever learned as much in a week's time as I did with you. If I had to choose a favorite part it would likely be when we dug into skills (especially knotts, shelter, and fire).

Just tonight I went trail running and got too far off-trail from my own usual path, and suddenly the lessons you taught us popped into my mind. Your voice & energy levels came onto the trail with me, and we made our way back together.
