Fire Fighting Training
This very informative 1-day basic fire fighting training began in the morning mist with an experiential controlled burning exercise guided by the Southern Cape Fire Association (SCFA). Wayne Young from SCFA highlighted that due to our changing climate, forest canopies are opening up, releasing much of the moisture within indigenous forests, thus no longer being as much of a natural fire protection as they once were. He emphasized the importance of taking preventative measures and having an effective action plan in place of which this is the first step.

Certified Wilderness Emergency First Aid (Level 2)
This 2-day training was customised for emergencies that may occur in the wilderness, such as snake bites, head injuries, broken bones and the unconscious patient. Participants consisted mostly of wilderness guides or individuals living and working in the wild, where strategies for improvisation with what you can find in your immediate surroundings such as branches, sheets and blankets are essential.
