This is what I woke up to this morning. I was certainly glad I drove to Halifax last night. It was not an easy trip with the torrential rain navigating the highway and twisting, winding roads to the Halifax Search and Rescue Centre. My first night I opted to sleep in the car and my new down sleeping bag did a fine job keeping me toasty warm. Money well invested!


Our diverse group sprang into action after short introductions. But since this is the Advanced Wilderness First Aid course classroom time was kept to a minimum.



With one of Nova Scotia’s many Rocky Lakes as the backdrop we ventured out to practice some of our skills followed by a little more classroom time covering the CPR component of the in-depth course.
Keep checking back tomorrow for part two of my March weekend adventure.
