Restless Adventurer

6 - 15 Jan 2012: Wilderness First Responder

I took this 10 day intensive NOLS course. Training ran from 8:00am - 5:00pm with two evening sessions scheduled. The format for this 80 hour WFR is classroom lectures integrated with practical scenarios, skills practice sessions, case studies, roleplaying and simulated rescues. Attendance is required for all scheduled classes. Scenarios, and practice sessions will take place both inside and outside. Please bring outdoor clothing appropriate for lying on the potentially wet, muddy or snowy, cold ground playing the role of both rescuer and patient. Frequently stage (moulage) blood and make-up will be used to emphasize the reality of a scenario.

I graduated on the 15th and I'm ready to provide quality patient care in the backcountry!

December Skiing

Made a few xc and downhill skiing trips in December so far. Some solo and some with Alana. She's turning into a good skier.

No pictures because my camera refuses to turn on in chilly weather.

Winter Break

Winter break began Monday the 19th. I'm looking forward to the 3 week break from school. I'm working part time so it isn't all fun and games but I'm planning some ski trips, PS3 playing, target practice, and more.
