BRSARA was on site for the Oxbow 50K trail ultra to provide first aid services, Saturday, May 5, 2018 at Spruce Woods Provincial Park.
March 3, 2018 proved to be a mild-weather winter survival scenario, and the BRSARA team made the most out this skills-building event.
In the photograph above, Peter and Neil are instructing the group on different types of shelters that can be built using items from their 24-hour pack and natural resources in the area. Coverage of this training event was also captured by Brandon Sun reporter, Michael Lee.
