 | NOLS' risk management and leadership skills are an invaluable asset that can be incorporated immediately into future Primal Quest events," said Primal Quest CEO, Rich Brazeau, "The relationship will also offer our volunteers and staff a unique opportunity to discover the renowned backcountry curriculum provided by NOLS around the world." |
 | NOLS founder Paul Petzoldt's idea was simple: take people into the wilderness for an extended period of time, teach them the right things, feed them well and when they walk out of the mountains, they will be skilled leaders. |
 | That is the backbone of every NOLS course and today the school is widely recognized as the world's authority in the extended expedition and outdoor leadership. |

 | Although NOLS was avowedly socialist, historically opposed to HECS, and to most of the economic measures introduced by the Hawke and Keating Governments, these areas became subject to much debate in later conferences with positions on economic issues becoming more and more ambiguous. |
 | NOLS was also critical of many aspects of the ALP's social policy, particularly with regard to the rights of queer people, and women. |
