Situational awareness is critical to keeping you safe in the outdoors, from both natural and human threats. This workshop will teach important skills to help you avoid conflict and keep you out of harm’s way when it happens. You’ll learn how to scan and process your surroundings to identify possible red flags, expand your approach to conflict resolution, identify ways to deal with fear, and become empowered to spend more time alone in nature. Participants should bring a water bottle and dress in comfortable clothing. 1.5 hours
