Hello Everyone!
I have just completed my 9-day Wilderness First Responder (WFR) Certification! Hooray! All news from the northwoods of Wisconsin is well. The days were long and learning arduous, but I have certainly gained a better understanding on wilderness medicine. Not to mention all of the wonderful, cool people I met! I certainly have to thank each one of them for their support and help throughout the course. The WFR course is not something you can learn on your own and it takes a great group to help each other learn the material. I had one day off during my time here. I slept in, went out to breakfast, went to Minocqua/Woodruff for a bit, and had a fantastic afternoon kayaking on Boulder Lake.
Again, I cannot stress enough how much I have learned in the past 9 days and how great it has been to be surrounded by people who also share a passion for helping others and working in the outdoors.
I will be traveling to Ely, MN tomorrow, as I am headed to Northern Tier's main location, the Charles L. Sommers Canoe Base. I will begin working on Monday and then will travel to Atikokan, Ontario later next week, where I will be at Northern Tier's Don Rogert Canoe Base. I will be going to church, meeting up with a good friend, and picking up a carpooler along the way! Hopefully my journey to Ely goes well!
I hope life has been treating you all well, wherever that may be, and remember...life is good!
