Stunt Ranch Santa Monica Mountains Reserve

06 Nov, 11 AM - 06 Nov, 09 AM

Short version: The event will involve about 20 people individually moving throughout the site on foot. Students will be introduced to basic individual land navigation skills. They will use a topographic map, protractor, and a magnetic compass to orient themselves to the terrain and walk to several prepositioned points on the ground. The students will move individually throughout the site, and will not be allowed to move in groups. Indivuals will select their own route so as a result, very few people will walk in the same place as anyone else. This will minimize the possibility of inadvertantly forming a trail. Prior to the students movement, the instructors will place about 20 small markers throughout the area. Prior to departing the site, all of these markers will be removed. We will have at least 1 fully trained "first responder" at the site at all times, and most individuals will have radio communication with the instructor staff. We will bring several filled 5 gallon water jugs.
