Given that we frequently don't have cell service, I will "rest" easier knowing that you also always have your vhf radio at hand!? And, for that you shall be rewarded with another bit of whisky!!!!

Probably even better than the ob-gyn paddler. Dick On Fri, Apr 18, 2008 at 11:13 AM, John Browning <seakayakerjb_at_aol.com> wrote: ?Great thread!!!? Now my $0.02. . . I paddle a lot with a cardiologist--great in the cath lab with all that equipment and support staff, not sure about in the wild though.? He's taking a wilderness first aid class (WMA) that I'm one of the instructors for in a couple of weeks.? And, since I'm a Wilderness EMT, as well as a working urban EMT, I can take care of most of the problems others have, it's me that I worry about--what if I go down? Gear--lots of great input, no one has mentioned the Scotch or Irish whisky (haven't tried the Welsh yet, but am actively searching for it in my area).? Nothing like sitting and watching the sunset with a wee bit of whisky--what a day! Where to purchase gear--what very little camping gear I need (I used to own a store) I pickup at the paddling shop I teach for (gotta love those employee discounts) and for what I can't get there, or through there, I usually end up at REI (member # 654xxx)--yep long-time. The season is rapidly approaching!!!
