Wilderness medicine skills for the win!

This is why we teach! Today I received this photo and note from Gustavo who took a WFR course with us in Kobarid, Slovenia.

"Happy new year! Thanks to your awesome Wilderness Medicine training I’m still alive and kicking. This new year I was one of the lucky few to get a permit to backpack on our beautiful Dominican mountains. The group was tracing a new route which was not marked. On the way back, I was got lost and had to spend a night alone with temperatures dropping to 0 Celsius.
My training kicked in and I bundled myself in a hypothermia burrito wrap to keep warm. My tent had “escarcha” (icicles) on it in the morning. It might not be the most dramatic story but it was certainly great to have the training and skills. Attached is a photo of me with the Pico Duarte in the background—the tallest mountain on our island. Thank you for your awesome instruction. It came in very handy!! - Gustavo

Vote for John Hovey for the USHPA board! One week remaining!

1 week left to vote for USHPA board of director candidates! Vote now: https://www.ushpa.org/page/elections

So far, 13% of USHPA members have voted. This meets our minimum 10% requirement, but we hope that as many members as possible will make their voice heard.

Elections are now national, so you can vote for any of the candidates, even if they’re outside of your region.

Your vote is important. While the diversity algorithm does play a role in the final selection, only candidates who receive votes from at least 5% of the voters (or receive at least 50 votes—whichever is greater) will be included in the diversity algorithm selection. The algorithm then takes into account the number of votes each candidate receives. Finally, if the algorithm requirements for region, wing type, age, and gender are met, directors will be selected solely based on total number of votes.

Learn more about each of the 19 candidates and the election process (including the diversity algorithm), and vote by Monday, Oct. 26!
