Sonoran Year Wilderness First Responder (WFR)

Knowledge is power, or so I like to say. Ok. Maybe it was Sir Francis Bacon and not me who said that, but I have to agree with the philosopher.
This past fall, the Year in the Sonoran students completed a critical course in wilderness first aid referred to simply as a WFR (pronounced: Woofer). Knowledge of wilderness first aid is hugely important when you or a party of folks want to expedition in the Wind River Range or even if you just want to go on a day hike on the Appalachian Trail.
Well, good news is that all the Sonoran Year fellas graduated from their WFR course, and now they’re prepared to assess and treat anything from a broken femur to severe frostbite.
Congrats, guys, on a job well done.
