IMO this is where you need to do this.. there is no replacement for real life training

I did a Hangfire AST1 course a few years back, I think they're merged with Zacs Tracks now? We did the course at Cycle works then caught up for the field day later in the season. Their course was great, the instructors and everything went well. I would go with the Frozen Pirate guys if I had to do it again, and will look for them for a refresher or even 1.5 or 2.0 class one of these years. They offer the class and field in the same weekend, I think this is key to hammer home points without a gap between the classroom and field. Hopefully Martins does their avy awareness night again this year. the Frozen Pirate guys did a great job last year IMO.
