Sierra Club Outings - Cincinnati, OH

Come for good company, great food, and of course, great beer! Plus, enter a drawing for a beautiful, handmade winter quilt.

10% of the event’s proceeds will go to the Sierra Club Miami Group.

We will meet at my house, for those who want to carpool, at 7 AM on Saturday Jan 14. Our hike starts with the Middle Creek Loop and continues through Sawmill to Jake's Place. We will base camp there and hike the Twin Arch Loop on Sunday and return via Sawmill and Middle Creek on Monday. This is an excellent beginner trip.

Wilderness First Aid (WFA)

Accidents happen. People get hurt, sick, or lost. The temperature drops, the wind picks up, and it starts to rain. Would you know what to do? Many backcountry emergencies are preventable, and even when bad things happen, sometimes the wrong care can make things worse. By learning a few basic skills, you can make the difference between a good adventure story and a bad ending…and maybe even save a life.

WFA is the perfect course for the outdoor enthusiast who wants a basic level of first aid training for remote trips when access to medical help can be delayed. This 16-hour course focuses on the entry-level skills of: response and assessment, musculoskeletal injuries, environmental emergencies, soft tissue injuries, and medical emergencies. The WFA curriculum focuses on real life examples and blends classroom learning with hands-on scenarios. Upon completion, students will receive a SOLO certification card, good for 2 years.

The class is held over the course of 2 days, Saturday and Sunday, 9:00 - 5:30 each day.

Cost? $250 per participant (course text, certification, scenario materials)
