The UOIT-DC Outdoors Club will be hosting a two day Standard First Aid and CPR training event, with a bit of an outdoor spin added to some parts of it. We have it planned to be the weekend of March 29-30th. The course will take a total of 16 hours (8 hours each day) and will take place on the UOIT and Durham College North campus.

By Completing this course, you will recieve a Three Year (3) certification, First Aid manual, Certification Card, and Wall Certificate, all according to the Canadian Red Cross.

We are offering the course at a discounted rate, and you will only be paying for the cost of the training. Prices will vary depending on how many people we can get, however we can only certify a maximum of 18 members at once. If we can get 15 members, the cost of certification will only be $65. On average, courses such as this can cost up to $150.

Last night we sent out an email about this event to our members, and this is just the gist of it. If you'd like to see the full email, simply send us an email to [email protected] and we'll send it your way!

I came across this, this has got to be the coolest DIY camping equipment I have seen in a long time.

http://www.trueactivist.com/gab_gallery/how-to-turn-a-beer-can-into-the-only-camping-stove-youll-ever-need/

You can whip one of these up in a matter of minutes. They’re so easy to make and they work really well. First find yourself some scissors and a beverage can and then start the above video. This is an inexpensive way to be prepared in the event of a power outage as these stoves give off a lot of heat...

Couldn't help but share this awesomeness.

Tuesday night will be an 11-year-old's 365th night sleeping in a tent in the family's back yard in Pennsylvania. Rain, snow, thunderstorms, heat...he didn't crack even once.

If you're interested, check out his blog of the experience!

Anyone else inspired?

Hope you're all having a fantastic winter break!
