Are you prepared if your hike doesn't go as planned? Join the Shining Mountain Chapter of the Montana Wilderness Association and REI for a free evening presentation that will focus on what to do if you find yourself lost or disoriented in the backcountry. Thoughtful planning and preparation can go a long way in keeping outdoor adventure safe and on track. We will talk about observational strategies, behavior and gear.
