"If you venture beyond the pavement, into the woods or onto the mountains, you need to be able to take care of yourself and your companions. The First Lead WFR training is a powerful, effective, and highly focused course that will give you the skills, knowledge, and confidence you must have to deal with backcountry medical problems--from a sprained ankle to a spinal fracture, from dehydrating diarrhea to multiple-patient traumas.' --Scott Greacen, 35, Environmental Activist, Santa Fe, NM. "Whether this class is needed professionally or not, the lifešs lesson in learning how to care, to truly care for each other, is priceless." --Tony Daranyi, 40, Telluride Ski Patrol, Telluride, CO.

I would recommend this to any outdoor enthusiast, environmentalist, or anyone interested in being super-prepared for everyday emergencies. --Susan Lee, 24, Field Environmental Scientist, Newport News, VA.
