SOLO Wilderness First Aid Afloat

This year is my 11th season partnering with the Maine Island Trail Association (MITA) to teach SOLO Wilderness First Aid, offered at a special rate for MITA members.

Perfect for paddlers, sailors, and anyone spending time on the Maine coast.

Choose one of two upcoming courses:
📅 April 11–12
📅 May 2–3

⚠️ Class size is limited and these usually fill. Register soon if you want a spot.

Not familiar with MITA?

“In 1988, a grassroots group of sailors, boaters, paddlers, and nature lovers pioneered the idea of a water trail to protect these fragile, essential spaces and developed a powerful model of handshake agreements to make it work.”

👉 If you love exploring Maine’s islands, consider joining MITA and building the skills to help keep your adventures

Day 3: Heading home. The ski across Long Lake was spectacular! A little sticky and slow but nothing a little F4 couldn’t handle! So grateful I was able to join these students on their skiing adventure!

Day 2: Nordic skiing, scenario practice, leg splinting, and patient moving, with the Tri-County Tech students. Even had a little help from our trusty rescue dog Rusty!

Ski trip (day 1) and a little First Aid practice with Tri-County Tech students! I would have actually liked High School if we had programs like this! I’m so grateful students have this unique opportunity to learn. Teacher Stephany Perkins is an outstanding student advocate and teacher!

Great podcast about the border wall through Big Bend National Park. It’s a great listen. I recommend taking the time to listen and educate yourself about the breadth of destruction this particular segment of wall will have. The current method they are using to monitor the border in the park are working.

The U.S. Customs and Border Patrol announced that it wanted to build a border wall along all or part of the southern border of Big Bend National Park. Bob Krumenaker from Keep Big Bend Wild joins us to discuss.
