Working in the field can require knowledge of many outdoor skills, such as map-reading, compass use, cross-country navigation, camping, cooking over a fire or with a camp stove, hazard evaluation, and other technical skills (such as winter camping or tree-climbing). Several resources on campus may be able to help you get additional training in these skills. These include the UCSC Environmental Health and Safety Department (http://ehs.ucsc.edu/) and the UCSC Outdoor Recreation Department (http://recreation.ucsc.edu/).
