    Default Steve from Calgary, Alberta, Canada

    My name is Steve (DrWELLth) and for the last 30+ years I have been involved in playing and working in wilderness, remote and outdoor settings.

    During that time I have worked in forestry camps fighting forest fires and led ten-day whitewater canoe trips for youth on northern lakes and rivers of Ontario, Canada.

    I’ve been a whitewater rafting guide trip leader for 21 summers, sharing the majesty of the Canadian Rocky Mountains with people from all over the world.

    I was a Wilderness Remote First Aid Instructor Trainer for the Canadian Red Cross (CRC) for 20+ years. I instructed instructor trainers to instruct instructors to instruct people. During this time, I edited a wilderness remote first aid book used by instructors and participants.

    In support of my rafting and first aid instruction I used the adult learning techniques I gathered through my continued university studies while obtaining my doctorate in adult education.

    And I have been a workplace trainer, teacher, coach and consultant involved in learning and development, leadership and management, and knowledge-skill competence validation.

    More importantly, of the 1000s of people I took into the outdoors I brought everyone back safe and sound. Yes, there were some bumps and bruises, small cuts – but it means they were enjoying themselves))smiles.

    ***************

    And now I write about what I remember ))smiles ... and what I know and do for the activities I enjoy ... simple hiking, simple mountain biking and an occasional whitewater trip ...

    About me,
    55 years young; 6'7" short; live in Calgary Alberta, Canada
    Continue to write, and write, and write ... with one of several foci on 'surviving-the-wilderness by not having do first aid and use survivial techniques' ... yes, prevention is queen, preparation is king ...

    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    Hey welcome to the forum. This will be my 16th season as a raft guide. Not too often do I meet folks who've been at it longer than me! Look forward to hearing some of your experiences...
