Tonight's main speaker is Scott Aleckson, aka SSO JOAT. He will deliver a fast-paced presentation on a wide range of Outdoor Safety topics that will include everything from First Aid to Wild Animals to Gear to Mindset for returning safely from your outdoor travels. This topic is perfect for both new and old Geocachers.
