SUMMARY:Disaster & Travel & Wilderness First Aid Certification Course
DESCRIPTION:Walkabout Outfitter &\nMEDIC Solo Disaster + Wilderness Medicine School \n are hosting a\n \nDisaster+Travel+Wilderness First Aid certification course\n                                                on                                                   \n March 5-6th\, 2022\n in Carolina Beach State Park\n \nLEARN HOW to SAVE LIFE and LIMB in a\n-Wilderness area-rural area (not near a hospital)\n\n-disaster site or\n-travel anywhere\n\nThis is a great course for anyone who ventures outdoors\, travels\, or wants to help in case of an emergency during a disaster!  \n\n \n>> TIMING: These are a 2 day class.  8:00am to 7:00pm both days.\n\n>> FEE: $225 (note: another organization in the region charges $305.  You save $80 thanks in part to GOPC’s sponsorship of the class.)  \n\nWHY: Mired in a disaster zone\, travel or rural area far from a hospital\, or natural area miles from an access point … accidents\, destructive weather\, and terrorism happen\, and all-too-often members of a group are not capable of dealing with the emergency. This leads to improper care of the patient\, and endangers the entire group. Many recreational accidents are preventable\, and improper care of trauma can compound even simple injuries. Very few first aid programs actually address the issues of providing emergency care in a setting where 911 is overwhelmed or not immediately reachable. In this course\, classroom instruction and Q&A are interwoven with practical work and problem-solving exercises. Hands-on experience – a most powerful learning tool – during scenarios comprise ~50% of class. You come away with actual do-it-yourself care-giving confidence.  Satisfaction guaranteed.OVERVIEW:\n-No prerequisites\n-For adults and focused teens. Know your loved ones are safe wherever they are.\n-Hands-on learn how to care for an injured / ill person during the critical minutes or hours before ambulance / hospital arrival\n-Blend of classroom instruction & hands-on rescue scenario practice\n-Approved by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA)\, Girl Scouts of the USA\, American Camping Association (ACA)\, University of Virginia (100% reimbursement for certain academic employees)\, and more\n-2-year SOLO WFA certification\n-Counts as recertification for WFA\, AWFA\, WFR and wilderness part of W-EMT\n\nTOPICS:-Beyond the ‘golden hour’: wilderness/remote travel/disaster-delayed EMS arrival injury challenges and long-term patient care\n-Patient Assessment System: thorough patient examination\, treatment\, monitoring\, safety\, and documentation\n-Orthopedic Injuries and Treatment: Sprains\, Strains\, Fractures\, and Spinal Cord Management\n-Circulatory System Form and Function: Heart\, Blood\, Blood Vessels\, Lungs\, Brain\n-Soft Tissue Injuries and Wound Treatment: Contusions\, Abrasions\, Lacerations\, Flap Avulsions\, Amputation\, Punctures\, Impalements\, \n-Bites\, Stings\, Blisters\, Burns\, and Infections\n-Environmental Injuries and Treatment: Cold\, Heat\, Dehydration and Wilderness Survival\n-Medical Emergencies and Critical Care: Shock\, Allergies\, Shortness of Breath\, Brain Problems\, and Heart Problems\n-Patient movement: spinal cord precautions and clearing; pre- and post-evacuation treatment\n-International Travel: preparing & packing for safe travel\, problem prevention before and during travel\, and identification & treatment of many travel illnesses – presented in a special hand-out for those who indicate interest.  \nInstructor: Matthew Rosefsky\, Geo Medic\, Wilderness EMT\, CERT\, MRC\, and SOLO Instructor-Trainer; or a top-notch\, highly-qualified expert Matt personally trained. \nCourse INFO\, ONLINE REGISTRATION\, other locations & dates:  \n\nhttp://www.solowfa.com/ \nA fully completed registration and payment will reserve your spot in the class. Feel free to contact courses@solowfa.com with questions…

SUMMARY:February/March Book Club
DESCRIPTION:This month’s book club will be held on Saturday\, March 26\, 2022\, at 10:30AM at Pomegranate Books.\n\n\nRiver-Horse: A Journey Across America by William Least Heat-Moon\n\n\nIn River-Horse\, the preeminent chronicler of American back roads recounts his singular voyage on American waters from sea to sea. Along the route\, he offers a lyrical and ceaselessly fascinating shipboard perspective on the country’s rivers\, lakes\, canals\, and landscapes. Brimming with history\, drama\, humor\, and wisdom\, River-Horse belongs in the pantheon of American travel literature.\n\nIn his most ambitious journey ever\, Heat-Moon sets off aboard a small boat he named Nikawa (“river horse” in Osage) from the Atlantic at New York Harbor in hopes of entering the Pacific near Astoria\, Oregon. He and his companion\, Pilotis\, struggle to cover some five thousand watery miles — more than any other cross-country river traveler has ever managed — often following in the wakes of our most famous explorers\, from Henry Hudson to Lewis and Clark.\n\nEn route\, the voyagers confront massive floods\, submerged rocks\, dangerous weather\, and their own doubts about whether they can complete the trip. But the hard days yield up incomparable pleasures: strangers generous with help and eccentric tales\, landscapes unchanged since Sacagawea saw them\, riverscapes flowing with a lively past\, and the growing belief that efforts to protect our lands and waters are beginning to pay off. And\, throughout its course\, the expedition enjoys coincidences so breathtaking as to suggest the intervention of a divine and witty Providence.\n\nTeeming with humanity and high adventure\, Heat-Moon’s account is an unsentimental and original arteriogram of our nation at the edge of the millennium.”
