Kielyn and Dave Marrone are both Wilderness First Responder (80h first aid) and Ice Rescue Technician trained.
We are graduates of Laurentian University's Outdoor Adventure Leadership Degree program.
We have over 30 years combined experience guiding year round, including thousands of kilometers navigating on frozen waterways in winter
We carry extensive first aid, emergency and repair kits on all of our expeditions and are well versed in how to use them.
We carry satellite communication (or cell communication if appropriate) devices on all our expeditions.
Lure staff have a private, informal safety meeting every day to discuss how the expedition has been proceeding and what adjustments could be made
All participants have the power of "Challenge by Choice" That is, if there is ever an activity they do not feel comfortable with, they are encouraged to speak up and share their concerns with the guides/and or group.
We always have a logistics coordinate back at home who is versed with our emergency protocols.
Because we make much of our own winter equipment, we are well versed in their strengths, weaknesses and how to repair them in the field.
We believe the style in which we travel is inherently much safer than many other outdoor pursuits. We travel at a slower pace and more in tune with the natural environment. We carry the tools and knowledge necessary to weather winter storms and remain comfortable in the winter wilderness for days on end. You will find we do not straddle a fine line between safety and catastrophe as many fast/light winter or alpine expeditions seem to do. Instead, we are firmly on the side of safety and comfort in the wild.
We are a fully insured company
