Wilderness First Aid – Nov 19-20, 2011 Lowell Mass.
I am signed up for this course. I took it three years ago after my little “incident”. I HUGELY recommend it to anyone going any distance in the woods, hiking, skiing, on an island on a boat or anywhere that medical response would be slow. It took four hours before a crew got to me. There is nothing worse than having a group of people standing around not knowing what to do. Believe me!
It’s offered at UMASS Lowell. It is two days length, with an optional CPR certification. I will be there.

Two full days. It is well worth the $175. I’ll be there. PM me if you want
p.s., I've followed the thread regarding WFA, AWFA and WFR. AFA ain't happening very much (though I would love it to) and WFR is more time than I have. I'll check with our local FD, but again, it's a time thing.
