Are the Quarterly Trainings still a thing?

[TRD270]

A Jeep on the trail is better than a toyota on a semi

I'll head up Mary Ellen Gulch and get my self off the edge a little

haha, good call


I don't mind getting my rig stuck, if it werent for fluids I wouldn't mind even getting it on its side......very gently of course.

i learned more at one hour of quarterly training than any semester of college, and it was way cheaper too!

 

[Tonkaman]

were you at our last one when maverick set up the winches and we demonstrated setting up different winches with different pulleys for different loads? We pulled that nice FJ Cruiser around a few trees.

I wasn't and I need to make up for it. I know all the stuff the average internet surfer knows about winches, but have never actually seen one in use. I'd like to see common ways to rig and common mistakes people make.

 

[STAG]

Make it a concrete date and I'll be there.

 

[Troop92]

Sept/Oct plays well for me too. I don't have a winch yet, but a how-to would be killer.

 

[smartass_kid]

add my name to the list

End of September or early October would be best for weather.

I know it's been beat to death, but I would like hands on recovery class with actual anchors out to use.

I also really enjoyed the paramedic that came out a couple years back. I could use a refresher on camping/trail first aid and trauma

A member of our club is a sheriff/EMT up north, I'm sure I could get him to come give a presentation.

Perhaps something in conjunction with NPLD

 

[BoostedRNR]

I would love to make it to one of these. I could get at least two or three friends to tag along too

 

[Kevin B.]

The trick would be getting a few volunteer instructors so you don't have to listen to me the whole time.

Which topics would you guys like to see at the next QTD?

I'd love for someone to show the ins and outs of welding with batteries and jumper cables.

 

[Stephen]

As always, I'm down to help teach. Just need dates, my fall is filling up fast.

I'd love for someone to show the ins and outs of welding with batteries and jumper cables.

I have some experience with this.. But am not a professional by any means..

That sounds like you just volunteered. I'll bring some scrap metal, let's play .

Jami and I can teach camping gear/tips stuff.

We can also bring 4 attendees (if kids count).
