There are many wilderness skills to master, but perhaps two of the most important are outlined below.  Leave No Trace® protects the land that you travel while Search and Rescue can protect the people in your group.

 

Leave No Trace®    

     The wilderness lands around the world are a very precious resource.  When traveling and living on these lands, it is of tantamount importance to minimize your impact on the lands so that future visitors can appreciate the beauty.

 

Search and Rescue

     The wilderness is a truly "wild" environment.  Many things can happen that can put an inexperienced adventurer in danger. That is why it is important to study and practice basic safety skills before heading out.
