Week 6 Pre Departure Training


This week of training has been busy as always with the trade off of a public holiday (Hobart Show Day) in there to boot. I have been involved in running training sessions for many of the expeditioners that will be going south this Summer. The areas that have been covered with them are, Radios, stoves, clothing, survival, fire, medical and how to get on the boat.

The photos of the rather sad looking Haggland are as a result of a fire last year after the vehicle was run constantly for a number of weeks to stop it freezing up! Some fuel in a spill tray was able to ignite after it reached a rather hot temperature. Anyway a good enough reason to learn how to use fire extinguishers effectively!

Must apoplgise for the lack of photos in this week but the camera was never in the right place at the right time.
