The ESEE crew spent a week in North Carolina as assistant instructors for Haywood Community College's Wilderness Week. Wilderness Week brings together search and rescue personnel from all over the state to train in advanced techniques during the week long exercise. It rained on us for four out of the 6 days while training and camping in the mountains of North Carolina, but the weather made for some very realistic scenarios. Over the years we've had the chance to train with some very squared away wilderness rescue technicians, but the folks from western North Carolina are at the top of their game.
