WFR

Today we had our first big sim. I was a rescuer. I felt like I completely botched the whole thing though. Originally I was given control of the radio, but was a “secondary” rescuer. Val was kind of designated as IC, but not really. Somewhere in the middle of the hour long rescue, I switched from being a secondary to the IC, but not really. More clearly defined roles in the beginning would have helped. Tomorrow we do another sim, and maybe I will be a rescuer again. Hopefully I will do a better job. Some day it might be real.

January 25

I once asked a friend how to harness inspiration. I have tons of inspiration now, I just need to find a way to store and save it for when I begin to be distracted. I recently came up with a picture of what I want to be, as far as a person. Yol Bolsun.

Tomorrow we start our WFR class. Wilderness First Responder. After that we have two class of Group Facilitation class. Then comes four days off. Then the next 3 weeks will be spent in Murder Creek Wilderness, Oregon.
