All participants are strongly urged to bring their own 45-pound pack. All packs will be weighed using WVDOF scales. If you do not have a pack available, you will be given a backpack pump filled with 5 gallons of water to use for the test. The test consists of walking 3 miles in 45 minutes or less with 45 pounds.
Fire shelter drills will immediately follow for those individuals successfully completing the Pack Test. After lunch, will reconvene for safety refresher training and mobilization discussion.
