Winter Weather

Winter weather courses are designed to teach you how to shoot, move and survive in a cold weather environment. 

The Winter Modern Minuteman course covers:

• carbine and pistol fundamentals
• navigation block focused on both map and compass and GPS use 
• mindset talk and a short small unit tactics block
• The “Winter Modern Minuteman Competition”; this multi-hour shooting/ navigation and other skills competition will test your endurance and your ability to shoot, move and communicate.

*For the Modern Minuteman competition, you will need a starting pack weight of at least 30lbs and no more than 40lbs. If you are running a plate carrier, your carrier weight will count toward your total.*

Prerequisites:

• A base level of fitness; be able to walk 5 miles with a 30lbs pack
• Competent and 100% safe with pistol and carbine (you need to have completed a pistol and a carbine course with either myself, Kyle Defoor, Bill Blowers, Northern Red, or another reputable trainer (or have someone I know vouch for you — If you are not sure, contact me)

This is a physically demanding course that requires a baseline of fitness to participate.
