i just went on a winter indoct this weekend. our corp took about 30 cadets to a place called sundridge. it is about 3 hours north of toronto. our cadets went through some very educational training and learned allot from the exercise. we woke up on the first morning and took down the tents and loaded our toboggans. when we were done that all thew cadets went on a hike with snowshoes and there toboggans. they set the tents up twice that day. once in the day and once in the night.
the only bad thing about the weekend was that allot of cadets were bored. my rsm had planed a whole night nav and a whole weekend that would allow the cadets to learn and have fun to. unfortunately the CO of the corp had changed some of the things and at the end of the day the officers had a vote and decided not to have the night nav because It was to cold.
the second night we were there was very cold. i had fire picket at 5 in the morning and when i got up my hands were exposed for like 5 minutes and they were already frozen and loosing feeling. i think it reached
- 35 degrees Celsius. it really gave thecadets a taste of real winter survival.
it was an awsome weekend and i was wondering if any of your corps have done a winter indoct and how it went.
