wilderness first responder

i am about 20 dyas into my nols course and i have another seventy five to go and so far it has been a blast. at the moment we are getting a bit of a break fomr the outdoors and for the last week we have been at three peaks ranch which nols owns. it is a decently cool place it is a working horse ranch and all of the courses that nols runs in this area get re rattinied fomr the horses at the ranch here. they also run several horse packing courses a year out of the place. but for the moment it is the home of the oesf kids for the next few days. so far i have really been liking the class a lot of it is a big review for me since i of course already have my emt. it is nice not to be in a state of panic over most of the metrical like the rest of the kids that are in the class, and just likek i was when i was taking my emt. when i am done with the wilderness first esponder i will then walk away with my wilderness emt, which is a great hing to have since this is what i am trying to do with my life work in the woods. most of the people out there only want a wfr so anything over that you have is great for them. it is really cool to know most of theis stuff already and get the review i am going to be getting a lot of the coutining education that i need for my emt out of this class and that is a good thing. sine thos are hard to come by out in unity.. while i do like the class a lot and i really like the instructors that i have sometimes it is really hard for me because i know what i woulddo if i was working out of my truck, and what i would do and what they want me to do is so very differ=nert i understand that i am not going to have a rig at my call but it is still hard because some of this stuff i would never dream of doing in the front country. at the same time as i am having those feeling learning to make a traction splint out of a trecking pole and a few other things that you would find in your bag is really cool a lot of this is making stuff up as you go along and i like it a lot it is cool to see how it works out of nothing.
i should probly go and study while i think i am not going to have any sort of problem i dont want to get cocky and take chances
intill later
peace
