Dave Hubbard (ACA instructor in swiftwater rescue, among other things)
is teaching a two-day 16-hour Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course this
weekend near Harpers Ferry. In addition to logging thousands of river
trips both as a professional guide and private boater, Dave spent years
working as an EMT...so he's not only certified to teach this material,
but he knows from first-hand experience what works and what doesn't.
I've taken this course before and it's worth the time and expense.
As Charlie Duffy has pointed out, most of us spend a lot of our time
paddling in wilderness situations where "call 911 and wait" is simply
not a viable option. All of us should carry a WFA certification in
addition to a CPR certification: here's your chance.
This course will cost about $150 including all the materials. Contact
me at rsk@rockandwater.net ASAP if you're interested and I'll connect
you with Dave.
