I'm running a Wilderness First Aid class (in person) in the Conejo Valley on November 2 (Sun) and November 23rd (Sun) 8am to 5pm both days if anyone local is interested. Cost is $75.00 (my cost for books and certification card, supplies). If you want to sign up, let me know, I have a few spots open. All the skills learned here are useful in everyday life, wilderness or not, and also during disasters. CPR certification is included. #FirstAid #WFA #WildernessFirstAid #ConejoValley #ThousandOaks #DisasterPreparedness #CPR #VenturaCounty

May run a Wilderness First Aid for the local community Nov 2 and Nov 23 (two days, 16 hours) -- Conejo Valley/ Thousand Oaks. Any locals with interest? (running it for the Mountain Biking team, but likely will have additional slots available). Cost TBD but I am not charging for my time, only materials and cert. #ConejoValley #ThousandOaks #WildernessFirstAid #FirstAid

Hi all,
I'm running a REC3 course on 12th & 13th April if you know anyone interested. Recerts are available on the second day too.
This is required for a Mountain Skills Assessment, Mountain Leader, and various other outdoor activities qualifications.
DM me for details.

Did you know? Letting cuts “dry out” is *old advice*! 🚫

Keeping wounds moist leads to faster healing + less scarring—critical for backcountry adventures.

How to do it:
1️⃣ Clean the wound with filtered water + soap.
2️⃣ Apply ointment (antibiotic or petroleum jelly).
3️⃣ Cover with sterile bandage.
4️⃣ Replace daily & monitor for infection.

A simple skill that can save an adventure!

Prepping to teach another wilderness first aid class. AED simulator (CPR/AED training required, even though there are very few AEDs in the wilderness, LOL). WFA reference text. Tourniquet. Plastic snakes. #wildernessfirstaid

Oof, my son (air medic) had to hoist a badly critical patient from EXACTLY the spot I tell my Wilderness First Aid students they could set up a tent and offer up first aid every weekend to crashing mountain bikers. 😬 #wildernessfirstaid #SearchAndRescue #SAR
