Outdoor Safety Institute is a "virtual institute" providing free, online information on outdoor safety to the public and fee-based services for the outdoor recreation and education industry. Visit http://www.outdoorsafetyinstitute.com to learn more.

CEO of Outdoor Safety Institute, Alex Kosseff stated “TechRanch staff is always right down the hall with doors open when advice is needed –and in the rare cases they cannot help they are always able to wrangle up outside assistance. Our small start-up has benefited tremendously from the internet development services, business advice and supportive office environment. The costs are minimal and 100% worthwhile. We are months ahead of where we would be without TechRanch’s support.”
