Wilderness First Aid is different from the Red Cross or urban
first aid. Focus is on initial and prolonged care for a
patient in the back country. Participants will receive
a two year certification with the Wilderness Medicine
Institute of NOLS ( "http://wmi.nols.edu">http://wmi.nols.edu).

WMI of NOLS courses are for folks who recognises the
importance of having first aid skills if you spend time in
the outdoors. We have climbers, trekkers, paddlers,
blueberry-pickers, parents, teachers, outdoor guides, scout
leaders, fishermen and hunters - all learning about how to
care for an injured or sick friend.

Carole from San Diego would like some help planning a trip to
new Zealand. I am travelling to the south island of New
Zealand in March and would love some suggestions from other
members. We have our itinerary set-landing in Dunedin and
going south and back up-crossing at Arthur's Pass to and
leaving from Christchurch.

We are also planning to take a cruise into Milford Sound and
from what we’ve read, the only company that has a
cruise without a naturalist aboard is Fiordland Travel.

Are there others and if so, which is the best. Also, we
are interested in doing some hiking in the area-but nothing
strenuous.

The Kepler Track was recommended, but in reading about it, it
appears that to go in for a few hours would only take us
along the lake. Is there a walk w/more
interesting/spectacular scenery?

Thank you in advance for your response.

A dynamic, super informative look at independent travel around the world, hints and tips, travel itineraries and readers' travel experiences.
