One idea we have been mulling is a list of resources to keep you temporarily away from the freedom of the hills. But we figured you know how to do you.

MAMMUT has a text and video-based platform called “Avy Hub.” Avy Hub can connect you to the Know Before You Go (KYBG) program, a great starting point for those new to the backcountry scene.
AVY HUB also includes three narrative videos specific to the topic, which we will embed below.
EP. 03: Four Meters Deep
