Fall is one of my favorite times of year and is a great time to hold events. A few of us at Expedition Utah got together and wanted to reboot OSC after taking 2022 off. We opted for a smaller, more intimate, scaled back version of what we've done in the past. Early feedback suggested it was a great success!
We started Friday on some private property in South Fork Canyon in Weber County. Berg and I arrived and started getting setup for the event. The plan was to do some pie iron cooking instruction for dinner, then hold a Trip Planning and Navigation class after dark.
Pie irons setup, fires going, and supplies ready for meal prep.
Classroom setup, ready for students to arrive and the sun to go down.
Berg chillin, waiting on participants to arrive.
The first participants arrived around 5pm and got camp setup. As more folks showed up, we gathered around the main area and chit chatted for a while until hunger set in and food started calling our names. We held a quick discussion on pie iron options, then broke out the food and started cooking.
Meatballs, Blintzes, Grilled Cheese, Fish Fillets, Pizza Rolls, and many other items were on the menu.
With full bellies and a desire to learn, we transitioned to the classroom. Expedition Utah has put on many classes over the years, but Trip Planning and Navigation has always been pretty popular. This was no exception with students engaged and attentive for over 2 hours of discussion.
After the class, many gathered around the campfire to warm up a bit before bed, while others retreated to the warmth of their sleeping bags. It was a wonderful night to hang by the fire and share stories and knowledge on many topics.
Saturday morning was nice and relaxed. @cruiseroutfit kicked off his Vehicle Recovery 101 class at 9 am. Sitting in the warmth of the sun, we had a phenomenal time diving into multiple recovery techniques, theories, gear, and math.
With the classroom part over, we dove into some hands on training. We setup a few scenarios, and concluded with a demonstration of a Spanish Burton.
