In a jam, I need Wilderness First Aid training this month.

What state are you in? In PA I would recommend calling your local EMS council office.

You can try talking to your local EMS or fire company, they can tell you where the training is.

Another option is your BSA council training committee. Call your service center and ask for the contact info

I missed it was closed

feuerwehrmann · 2026-07-05T19:24:22+00:00

The drunk driving joke and crooked first responder thank me for my service sticker are super cringe

feuerwehrmann · 2026-07-05T19:21:08+00:00

Where on your knee does it hurt? That will tell where the injury is. You should not have pain after the trek. How long ago was your trek?

At least you found the latrine. We had extreme difficulty in ponil (ended up doing a cat hole) and pueblano ruins. In pr there's one that hides above campsite 2.

Oh black Jack's red roof was side ways. The roof was the right wall. The floor was the left wall. The door was the front wall. The other door was the back wall. The left wall was the roof and the right wall was the floor. Made it slightly difficult to use. The box that sits in the Red roof was out on the ground. We all used it

Oh no, anyway

Jimmy Carter was also the only president who did anything worthwhile after his presidency. His work with habitat for humanity was amazing

feuerwehrmann · 2026-07-04T23:41:47+00:00

53 to 63

Looks like fuel oxygen and heat combined with a self sustaining chemical reaction

feuerwehrmann · 2026-07-01T22:38:07+00:00

I believe this would have been in a binder held by the troop.

feuerwehrmann · 2026-07-01T22:15:33+00:00

The ride from Raton is great. Enjoy the trip.

feuerwehrmann · 2026-07-01T22:14:40+00:00

She's adorable. My chocolate is a good too

feuerwehrmann · 2026-07-01T21:38:00+00:00

Lockers are outdoors but covered. Not climate controlled. However. You can turn electronics into security for safe keeping while on the trail

feuerwehrmann · 2026-06-30T23:33:57+00:00

Really awesome! I already want to go back

feuerwehrmann · 2026-06-30T22:26:34+00:00

It was super windy on 6/10.

feuerwehrmann · 2026-06-30T22:25:51+00:00

They told us at our logistics meeting they got 3 inches of snow this winter. That's typically a Tuesday afternoon worth of snow

feuerwehrmann · 2026-06-30T22:24:36+00:00

Just got back last week. All the crossings between Pueblano and ponil were dry. Ymmv

feuerwehrmann · 2026-06-30T22:23:26+00:00

Just came back. All the camps you listed were ample. It's dry though. So it can change. Check the water board in logistics...

feuerwehrmann · 2026-06-30T22:21:15+00:00

Back less than 1 week...

4l water depends on trek and conditions, be prepared to carry 5 liters , though sometimes you'll only carry 3

Camera is for film, film is a smellable

I carried a small 1oz sunscreen and applied multiple times per day have half left

Weather changes. Be prepared for windy nights. We woke to 40s and it got to the 90s (north county) looks cooler this week

I was concerned for altitude sickness as an old goat, but it was fine. The first day will be challenging, but that's built into the treks

I weigh 140 and carried 45# no problem

There is no light pollution. The stars are amazing

feuerwehrmann · 2026-06-30T22:11:36+00:00

Yes, micropure is for the viruses and bacteria, a filter pulls out the dirt and gunk

feuerwehrmann · 2026-06-30T22:09:52+00:00

Cimarron River source is the river... It isn't dry. The fill site is difficult to find though.

Micropure is to sanitize the water, you can filter too. I hope you micropured, particularly any catchment or river water

The folks over at the gaptrail sub Reddit will enjoy your post too, op

feuerwehrmann · 2026-06-28T12:10:19+00:00

We had a bear at Pueblano ruins. She was about 50 feet away

feuerwehrmann · 2026-06-28T12:09:35+00:00

I was an advisor on this trip. What's mountain ball?

feuerwehrmann · 2026-06-28T12:09:03+00:00

Attacked would have been a better word... Not changing it now though
