Wilderness Medicine Refresher: CANCELLED due to lack of interest

For club members certified in WFA or WFR (or those recently timed out) who would like to participate in a 'non-formal' review and refresher, lets spend Sunday November 10th at the North Mesa Picnic area at 9:30 AM. We will spend about an hour reviewing systems and fundamentals. After that we will set up a series of scenarios with different sets of participants acting as patients, responders and observers. Following each scenario we will critique the response as a group to identify positive elements and alternatives to the actions taken by the responders. We will break off at about 3:00. Participants should bring their standard field medical kit, snacks, lunch and dress appropriately. A portable chair would be useful, as well as cloths that might get a 'bit' dirty.  All activities will take place in the immediate vicinity of the park in Los Alamos. The scenarios will be set up on the County Land and the canyon behind the park.

I suggest that we get together on the preceding Wednesday (at the Tub or an alternative location) to help in identifying and defining scenarios. That meeting will help us identify any additional equipment that we might also want to have, but think specifically about those activities that put you into wilderness situations and what you might have with you in those circumstances. 

We need a minimum of six participants but can accommodate a group of 12 if we have that many interested. Please send me a note or give me a call if you are interested in participating.
