FRASER VALLEY – Intermediate Winching (IWC) – July 27, 2025

THIS EVENT TAKES PLACE NEAR STAVE LAKE, BC.

Meetup is Sunday, July 27, 2025, at 8:30 AM at the Hayward Lake Rec Area parking lot.

Continuing hands-on instruction with guidance from our skilled trainers in a variety of winching scenarios, you will gain the knowledge and confidence to use your winch safely in a recovery situation.

Following introductions and housekeeping, the day will start with a review of basic winch operation, concepts, and safety, then expand to variations on the double-line pull, including offset pulls, redirected pulls, using another vehicle as an anchor point, and securing a vehicle for angled recovery in extreme situations.

By the end of this action-packed day, you will have learned new skills, built your confidence, and made new friends. You’ll be better prepared to deal with situations that may come up on your next adventure!
