Wilderness First Aid Course
November 14-16
Presented by The Expedition School
This course is designed specifically for those who work and/or live in remote areas where Emergency Medical Service (EMS) response is delayed 30 minutes or more. Typically when help is delayed, the rescuer spends more time sustaining the patient and/or evacuating the patient to a safer environment than in an urban setting. This course provides information on how to respond to those wilderness medical emergencies and trains students to recognize the signs and symptoms of various maladies.
We will discuss the most typical dangers that apply to your environment and create scenarios that best simulate a true emergency that may arise in your area. Class will be held at Circle Dug Ranch, Candelaria, TX.

The Whole Shootin' Match, Eagle Pennell, 1978, 109'
A Texas myth revisited with contentious discussion led by TJ and Roscoe on one side of the aisle, Ralph and Joe Cash opposing. Eagle Pennell's first feature details the tragic-comic struggles of two small-time
schemers, Loyd and Frank, desperate to land their big break. Through its
anecdotal narrative and fresh observation of its characters, the film intimately
captures a time and place (Austin, Texas 1977) with its atmospheric
photography and rough-hewn charm.
