Soon to be membership site …

Working on the ART of Canyoneering field handbook, while simultaneously working on a 3-ring binder subscription version and several instructional videos. As a subscriber you will receive a binder and index tabs with access to PDF documents you can print and insert into your binder. While the 4×6 field handbook, printed on waterproof synthetic paper, will be very succinct and include only what I believe to be the most important and useful skills and techniques, the subscription version will be expanded to include virtually every skill, technique and system known. Other features will include regular case studies with expert analysis.

I will be installing the membership management software next week and uploading documents. Anticipate accepting subscriptions within the next couple weeks.

Stay tuned.
