I'm running a Wilderness First Aid class (in person) in the Conejo Valley on November 2 (Sun) and November 23rd (Sun) 8am to 5pm both days if anyone local is interested. Cost is $75.00 (my cost for books and certification card, supplies). If you want to sign up, let me know, I have a few spots open. All the skills learned here are useful in everyday life, wilderness or not, and also during disasters. CPR certification is included. #FirstAid #WFA #WildernessFirstAid #ConejoValley #ThousandOaks #DisasterPreparedness #CPR #VenturaCounty

Hello le Fediverse,

Étant sur le point de faire une grosse MAJ de ma trousse de "petites sorties", j'en profite pour exposer sans prétention son contenu et proposer un petit jeu (#deballestatroussedesecours): déballer le contenu de nos trousse de secours.
L'idée est de publier notre fonctionnement, de trouver des axes d'amélioration et des idées.
Par exemple, pour nos ami.e.s #velo #velotaffeur #velomobile #randonnée etc...

Pour ma part, j'ai une petite trousse qui m'accompagne pour les petites sorties (ci-joint), un trauma kit, ma mallette de soin et ma caisse pharmacie (contenue dans une caisse à outils qui a un background de fou).

How to spot a stroke. (The faster you can get them to care, the less damage that occurs. Better to call 911 and have them checked out at the ER than wait and possibly have major, permanent damage). #FirstAid #strokes

🇺🇸🇺🇦 A few days ago, on my last day volunteering with Chervona Kalyna in #Kharkiv, I was honored to receive a certificate of gratitude from the foundation’s head, Liudmyla Katkova.

Before arriving, I had sent CAT 7 tourniquets⛑️ from the U.S. to support those on the frontline, and helped connect the foundation with an organization donating pet food.🐾

✨I’m grateful for the opportunity and the new friendships formed.

🇺🇦 Today at Coast of Life in Odesa, I donated CAT 7 tourniquets I brought from the 🇺🇸 U.S. to Olena K, who bravely delivers essential aid to heroes on the frontline.

She’s an inspiration.✨

🎯 Every small act supports a larger purpose. Together, our efforts make a real difference.

Please like and follow to support their vital work ➡️ https://linktr.ee/coastoflife_od

Proud to stand in solidarity—and I’ll keep sharing updates.

For my Friends in Kharkiv 🇺🇦

While volunteering here in Odesa, I received a message from a friend in Kharkiv. Before this humanitarian volunteer trip, I sent him a box of first-aid bandages and hemostatic napkins to get to the heroes on the front line.

Whether it’s a small donation or a message of encouragement, every action of solidarity matters for Ukraine.

⛑️I just received a video from a Ukrainian friend I met in Kherson during one of my earlier humanitarian trips. He's now serving as a defender, and the tourniquets I sent arrived safely.

➡️ Every act of solidarity matters.

Grateful to him and all the heroes on the frontline. Slava Ukraini🇺🇦

🚑 As an EMT-B, I know the lifesaving value of first aid bandages and hemostatic 🩸napkins. I just learned the first box I donated arrived with my trusted Ukrainian friends. I have sent these to friends in #Lviv, #Kyiv, #Odesa, and #Kharkiv, who will deliver them directly to the heroes on the frontline.

➡️Our collective efforts—from small donations to conversations—continue to make a real impact.

Just received a video from Oleg at Spravzhni Ukraine in #Kherson

✨He confirmed receipt of the tourniquets, #American flag, and handwritten card I sent from the U.S. These will be delivered directly to the frontline.

⛑️ I’ve volunteered with Spravzhni #Ukraine twice on the ground—and continue to support from the United States.

🎯Every act of solidarity—from donations to conversations—makes a difference.

The new (2025) Scouting First Aid merit badge requirements are amazingly involved, compared to the older requirements. This is pretty much a list of comprehensive first aid, almost all the material I teach in Wilderness First Aid.

(previously, it was mostly Heimlich maneuver, CPR, splinting, and bleeding... now it is EVERYTHING).

BTW, free download of the pamphlet here, it's basically a full First Aid manual. Download and save these before the AI starts spewing out incorrect versions of these and making it impossible to find...

(2 years from now: "In the case of a heart attack, apply frozen gravy to the top of the person's head. Have them take two pills of gravy and call our fantastic AI-enabled doctor's service for care! Have a good day!")
