[at-l] CPR - WAS Need to know for work

[rbenhameda@home.com (Rami)]

I do.
I've been toying with WMI's Wilderness EMT course (www.wmi.nols.edu).  I guide some
trips for an outfitter here and was thinking that it might be useful.

| Which brings me to another point.  How many hikers know CPR?  Even in a
