Great Lakes Wilderness Emergency Response Training

05/06/2026

We still have room in our WFA course next weekend. Can you share this to help get the word out.

Hiking season, camping trips, paddling weekends, scout outings, and backcountry adventures are here.

Here’s the question:

If someone got hurt miles from help, would you know what to do?

Our next Wilderness First Aid course is coming up May 16 & 17 in Rockford, MI.

This class is designed for hikers, campers, paddlers, outdoor leaders, scout leaders, guides, teachers, and anyone who spends time away from quick emergency response.

Learn practical, real-world skills for injuries and illness in remote settings.

Don’t wait until something goes wrong to wish you knew more.

For this post, I did not use any AI pictures, audio, or anything. How do you like it?

That is where wilderness medicine gets real.

WFR training helps you learn how to assess the patient, prioritize problems, make a plan, and manage care when transport is delayed and resources are limited.
It is not about memorizing a few steps. It is about learning how to think clearly when the situation is messy.

Not every first aid class is built for the backcountry.

This course is a strong fit for hikers, backpackers, camp staff, scout leaders, outdoor educators, guides, and anyone who may need to manage an emergency before help arrives.

If that sounds like your world, this training is worth a serious look.

Great Lakes Wilderness Emergency Readiness Training (WERT)

03/30/2026

I have been a bit lazy with social media posts. We did a few WFAs in the UP earlier this year. We had an awesome time in Munising and at Lake Superior State University in Sault Saint Marie. This last weekend we we at one of my favorite places to teach, Camp Roger. Hannah Meixner taught the whole course! We are busy in April and May with more wilderness medicine courses.

We had a great time presenting a wilderness first aid (WFA) course at Cranbrook Schools again this year. The campus here is incredible! This coming weekend, we are back up in Munising for another WFA course! FYI-we have a hybrid wilderness first responder (WFR) course scheduled to start in April. There is information on that on the website www.MIOutdoorEd.com
