So as of right now there are only 8 of us. So it may be moving to Saturday and Sunday still 20 hours but as a smaller group it moves better.
I will be taking fees at the meet tomorrow night if you are there. after that, You will have to make arrangements. We must have the funds at least one week before the course.

Big thanks to Waytec for setting this up.  I'm sure everyone would agree it was an excellent course, with an excellent instructor, and something none of you should have missed out on.

Thank you for organizing this, Aaron. It was an excellent course and we all learned a lot.

I know that it's caused me to adjust my approach to "what if" a little bit, and I think that it's made me a lot more prepared to deal with those situations.

We had a great weekend. I would recommend this course over a standard course any day. Once you learn with the mindset that help is 8 hours to 2 days way waiting 1/2 hour in the city is nothing.

We have the crew for the weekend 


Practice makes Perfect good enough.

Thank you Eric and Aaron for a very informative week end.  What if 2 hours in to a trail and we come across a quad hanging up in a tree.  Ambulance evacuation could be up to 2 days away if neither are accessible. What do you do?

Why are there so many pics of people pointing and laughing at other people that have grisly wounds? I know that we were laughing at Herb because he drives a Yota, but that doesn't explain the rest...
