Ryan Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 I've been looking for a good place to get some winter wilderness survival training. If you know of anyone on Vancouver Island or near Vancouver please let me know. I've tried but for the life of me I can't anywhere on the Island. Maybe because our winter ins't considered a winter by the rest of Canada. Quote
cyclic monkey Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 Here are some survival schools near you…… In Sooke B.C. http://www.geocities.com/survivorsedge/welcome.html In Cobble Hill B.C. Timonda Emergency Services Tim Mitchell 250-746-4572 Email to: mitchelt@brentwood.bc.ca Here’s one that’s a little colder, but not as wet ………. In Calgary AB KSK Industries, Inc. Tim Kelly 403-281-9338 Email to: ksk@cwmaster.com These guys in Kelowna do a highly regarded bush course for helicopter pilots, it might be worth giving them a call. http://www.airborneflighttraining.com/index.html Apparently our old friend #### also puts on a course in Ontario. A photo is attached. Quote
Firehawk Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 I do believe Airborne shut there doors in Kelowna, You would have to contact them in Whitecourt. Quote
407 Driver Posted November 23, 2004 Report Posted November 23, 2004 The link to Airborne Flight Training will get you to the new improved Kelowna facility, now called Okanagan Mountain Helicopters. Speaking of survival training Firehawk, I understand we have a "survival seminar" booked in several of the best wateringholes of downtown Kelowna on Friday PM, Bring your credit card and gum-boots ! P.S. things may get ugly :shock: Quote
LL slave Posted November 23, 2004 Report Posted November 23, 2004 I trained with John 6years ago(now at Airborne Flt Training) he's a great guy we still talk often, The survival training the year before and the years after my time was very enlightening so I was told, (camshell and -25 for three nights) and no beer. My survival training was a little more lax( cabin and lots of beer) He might be able to include someone in thier survival weekend from another school give them a call Quote
cyclic monkey Posted November 23, 2004 Report Posted November 23, 2004 407 Driver, That survival seminar that you and Firedawk will be going to o Friday sounds better than the one in the mountains at -25c !!! Can I come ?? I think I'm somewhere in your area. I saw this roadsign.........am I close to your place ????? Quote
407 Driver Posted November 23, 2004 Report Posted November 23, 2004 Hey, that's a pic of MY driveway Quote
cyclic monkey Posted November 23, 2004 Report Posted November 23, 2004 That's great........I'll be there any minute now. Can I pour you a Tui ?????? Quote
bh205 Posted November 23, 2004 Report Posted November 23, 2004 My feeling is if I have to spend a night outside then I have definalty done something wrong in my flight planning. Quote
