"What to do when things go wrong with what you've got in your pack". 

Join the Alpine Rescue Canterbury team for our 'hands-on' workshop fundraiser!

We will have a variety of highly trained and skilled educators (climbers, mountaineers, instructors, guides, paramedics and doctors) in the house!They will talk through tips and tricks to keeping yourself safe, what they do on the job and more! Then we will break out into smaller groups to get that hands-on knowledge! This will involve bringing your own packs and/or ropes in and learning how you could help yourself with what you already have!

• How to make an improvised stretcher.
• Package a person (I know it sounds terrible - but it could save a life) and move them in the backcountry.
• Emergency repair kits and how to use them.

Alpine Rescue Canterbury (or ARC for short) is a fully volunteer-based (and highly skilled!) team of climbers, mountaineers, instructors, guides, paramedics and doctors ready 24/7 to attend rescues that require their specialist skills in the Canterbury Region.  

So, to help them raise the funds they need to keep supporting the Canterbury climbing community, we're getting them in-store to teach you how to stay safe and get out of trouble in the mountains with what you already have in your pack!

The ARC crew volunteer their time because of their connection to the mountains and the climbing community. It's important for them that people in need get the most efficient and safe rescue possible, without expecting anything in return. This means that for any rescue gear, clothing or training they rely on external donations.

This is a great fundraiser for an amazing crew - so please come, support and have fun!
