Overlander security training?
I am posing this question here to get a bit of feedback. I have presented at HUBB UK several times on travel security and at the most recent Adventure Overland show I ran a presentation and a workshop on the same theme.
I have been pondering if there is enough interest in the community to run a couple of 1-day courses during the year on the topic. More than can be covered in a 40 minutes session at a HUBB-style event. A fee would have to be charged as I would have to hire a venue and provide training materials, lunch/coffee's... but nothing excessive.
I have been involved in international security for about 30 years: military, UN peacekeeping and as a security advisor to humanitarian organisations...my day job for the last six years.
I could see a course(s) that covered:
-Safe travel basics: routines, tips and gear
-Travel risk assessments (planning routes and assessing risk in a systematic way
-Risk mitigation strategies for threats faced on the road
-Emergency first aid basics
-Communications, tracking and emergency comms
-Situational awareness (key to sensing and avoiding dangerous situations)
-???
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks,
