FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Wilderness & Remote First Aid Certification

Kristina Hall of Sweet Otter, LLC, will be holding the Wilderness & Remote First Aid certification course, April 9th & 10th. Here are the details.

DATES: April 9th & 10th, 8 hours each day

LOCATION: Hollister Hills SVRA Park

HOW TO SIGN UP: PM Kristina Hall

WHAT:

The WRFA is especially important to know while traveling for extended periods in the back country--either via foot, bicycle, motorcycle or car. Kristina herself is a highly seasoned wheeler and tailors her instructions to real world scenarios for wheelers, mountaineers and backpackers.

She works in partnership with the American Red Cross--is an authorized Instructor and Instructor Trainer and teaches CPR and Wilderness and Remote First Aid Training courses that will certify participants for 2 years with the American Red Cross.

If you'd like to sign up for the course, PM Kristina and post up here so I can keep an accurate list of participants.

For those also interested in getting CPR certified, I know Kristina is probably going to do a separate class for that at a later date.

Here is the description of the course per the American Red Cross web site:

Designed for scouts, outdoor enthusiasts and those working in remote environments, this course teaches how to respond to an emergency when help may be delayed. This course is based on the Boy Scouts of America Wilderness First Aid Curriculum and Doctrine Guidelines and meets OSHA’s Best Practices for Workplace First Aid Training Programs.
