Know Before You Go: Effective Use of Outdoor Electronics

AAI's Know Before You Go program is a series of in-person informal seminars for those that are new to a given skillset. The Know Before You Go Effective Use of Outdoor Electronics will be a presentation on several things that all outdoor enthusiasts should be aware of: Phones and How to Use them Effectively in the Backcountry - Mapping Applications (which is best for you?) - Ancillary Useful Applications - Satellite Messaging Systems (the good, the bad and the ugly) - Satellite Phones (the bad, the ugly and the good) - Battery Banks and Solar Charging - Radios (person-to-person and for rescue) - Avalanche Transceivers 

This will be a presentation that includes the opportunity for questions. Come on in and grab a drink (we have soda and beer), and talk to a professional guide about these important topics!

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
