Snow!? While we’re still clinging to warm, sunny days, winter is on its way! The first flakes in the mountains are your reminder to plan and pack for changing conditions. This week LBSAR volunteers practiced hypothermia wraps at training, in preparation for winter.

Packing Reminders:
- Warm layers, waterproof gear, micro spikes.
- Headlamp with extra batteries (daylight fades fast!)
- Emergency kit + extra food and water
- Tell someone your trip plan before you go

Plan ahead, stay alert, and come home safe!
Wishing everyone fun and safe adventures ahead for the long Thanksgiving weekend.

🚨 WASPS! – Deeks Lake Trail 🚨
There is an active wasp nest on the Deeks Lake Trail from Porteau Cove around 440m elevation. In the past 24 hours, two hikers have sustained multiple stings and experienced allergic reactions after hiking near the nest.

⚠️ If you are planning to hike this trail:
* Be alert in the area and avoid disturbing the nest.
* Carry epi if you have a history of allergic reactions.
* Hike with a partner if possible.
* If stung and experiencing difficulty breathing, swelling, or other signs of anaphylaxis, call 911 immediately.

Please share this information with others who may be heading out on the surrounding trails.
