Next week going for Wilderness First Aid class. Been wanting to do it for several years but it's expensive and now the organization (Florida Trail Association) has offered to pay for a few members to go so my GF and I are going. I've been told by people that have taken it that it's a very intense class but well worth it.

Nice - much more worthwhile than what I want to do! Enjoy!

Why do you need to take a course like this? Are you survivalists or adventurers? Sincere questions.
Good luck, be safe (pun intended), and have fun.

I maintain a remote section of the Floride Trail, which involves leading groups of volunteers deep in the woods with chain saws, brush cutters and various other implement's of destruction so thought it a good idea to have at least the group leader familiar with life saving techniques.

Oh good for you! I've hiked part of that trail and likely enjoyed your work.
One of my favorite hiking areas is in Florida (Florida Trail South of Orlando, North of Lake O).
One of my least favorite hikes was Myakka River S.P.
Both in Florida.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

My section is along the Suwannee River from White Spring west about 30 miles. It's a beautiful hike.

Very cool.

Has anyone had any experience of Wintellect onsite training? Pros, cons?
Alternates?
Thanks

All guns a blazin', ey? 
Google would be fine but we're trying to upskill everyone to a similar level and 10 devs huddled around a screen watching youtube videos probably won't cut it...

But they'll be entertained, and that's what counts.

I have yet to see an online (onsite?) training that is worth anything. If you want to learn bad coding techniques and how to write buggy code, online training is the way to go. Then again, I stopped looking at these things a few years ago.

Sheesh. What do you call all those articles you write, Marc?

Those aren't training courses. Many of them are my crazy ramblings.

Good to know. I'll check them out. There's definitely always more to learn, and a recommendation goes a long way!

Agreed. I've wasted a number of hours viewing training at other sites that is not very good.
I've been completely underwhelmed by a number of Edx (edX | Free online courses from the world's best universities[^]) training videos -- but they are all from different sources so you can never tell.

...the definition of tedium.
When your article stretches out to four or more parts, it borders on a being a psychologically-damaging event. The real bummer is that it's looking like I won't be done with this crap before the world ends tomorrow...
And since I've mentioned the world ending thing, I'll provide Chris with one more item.
I hope everyone will have GOTTEN their affairs in order before tomorrow's big event.
