Charlene's Experience

In preparation for hosting this class, I took the class.  Actually, that is wrong.  I wanted to take the class so I could be more medically prepared in case of an accident while we are out on the trails, and it just happened that it also helps me prepare for hosting the class in association with the Convention.  No, I won't be teaching it.  A professional medical responder will be teaching it.  

I knew a little, and was very excited to learn a lot.  No matter your skill level as a first responder in a world with cell phones, electricity and a hospital usually within minutes, the Wilderness First Aid class makes you critically think differently.  I am hosting this class because I feel that it is extremely important for as many offroad folks to take as possible, literally it could save a life.  I hope that you will strongly consider increasing your days away to include this opportunity into your experience.  This class is NOT LIMITED to ladies only, everyone is welcome to take it.   REGISTER NOW

Here are my day end Facebook posts from the two day course I took in California...in the rain!  🙂
