There will be a change in the organisation of next year’s official YAU training course. After many years in the lead, Jessie Gladish will be handing over the torch to Fabian Schmitz from Bushcraft Yukon.
It’s great that Jessie, together with Gillian Smith, will continue to support Fabian during the course days. This means that the same “dream team” that has done such an excellent job teaching over the years will still be working together – now with Fabian taking on the coordination role.
Fabian is an expert in winter survival, has a deep passion for exploring nature, and is also the author of a book on winter survival (German language only). Having been involved in the race crew many times, he knows the YAU inside out.
As always, the course is not only open to YAU athletes. Anyone interested in developing these skills is welcome to join.
You will find more information about the course in the Training Course section here on our website.
