Current Goal

This geocoin wants to travel around and to remind people about the importance of safety in the backcountry.  Please take me to caches where many geocachers are likely to see me or to pick me up.  

Keep me moving!  My owner's goal is for as many people as possible to log that they have discovered me!

About This Item

Wesley's Wilderness EMT Geocoin

The owner of this trackable is an Advanced Wilderness Emergency Medical Technician (AWEMT).  WEMT's are the people that get called in when something goes seriously wrong in the backcountry.  We are the people who search for lost hikers, care for and carry out injured patients from our nations wildlands.  While the owner loves getting outdoors he prefers to do it on his own terms instead of as part of a search or rescue mission.  Please hike safe and keep yourself from becoming a patient (or, even worse, a statistic)!

The owner wants this geocoin to serve as a reminder to always keep safety first in the backcountry.  Simple abrasions, sprains and conditions such as dehydration might only slow you down a bit in the city; on trips as short as dayhikes these can become deadly injuries in a hurry.  If you spend much time in the backcountry please consider taking a Wilderness First Aid course to help keep yourself and others healty on your adventures.

Plan ahead for each and every trip.  Let someone know where you're going and when you'll be back.  Carry enough food, water and clothing for your trip.  Most importantly, remember to constantly re-evaluate your decision to continue a trip as weather, trail conditions or group member health changes.  Good decision making saves lives in the backcountry!
