Wilderness First Aid

[gfish]

I want to take this wilderness first aid class, May 19-20 in Seattle. (Some details available in this brochure.) I know several other people have expressed interest in doing this as a group thing, so here's your chance to speak up. Who wants to spend a weekend splinting imaginary broken bones and discussing hypothermia?

Yikes, that is a bit pricey. Usually I just go by my Wilderness 911 book, or whatever it's called. After looking it up after my ocean swimming adventure this past fall, I realized that yes, I had had hypothermia. :)

I don't know if I do enough seriously back country stuff to justify it, though when I'm in the boundary waters it could prove to be useful. Though, at most people are 24 hours away from finding at least one other person.
