Hello,
Is this event kid friendly and is there a cost beside park entry?

Yes, this is a paid class. Didn't realize that you have to click the More button to see the details and the link to registration. I'll edit the event to make it more apparent.

All the cool events seem like they end up being on the west coast so how about sharing the knowledge in our other regions too?

Hello Disco2Guy,

I was wondering how much would the course cost if you don't mind me asking? Many thanks!

I post a lot of knowledge here on the forums and on my Instagram feed. In fact, I just made a post about re-spooling your winch cable for the first time after getting a new winch. I'd like to find a way to teach these types of classes in other regions that makes sense financially.

I need to find that post since I just got a new winch

It's a reply to someone getting a new Badlands winch.

You've actually contributed to several threads here on OB with invaluable, and experienced, information. Easy to see from the info you provide that you've been around the block and back as far as winches and recovery techniques go.

Hell, if we had enough members up this way (Maine coast and Maritimes right now), I'd set up a workshop for you to come to and teach. Same for the west Texas area down around Big Bend. That would probably get a lot more interest. Looked at land down there a couple times and am still thinking about it, with just this sort of thing in mind, a spot that folks can come to for an overnight or two on their way to Big Bend trails, learn a few things, do laundry and shower on their way back, etc.
