We had a team hike today, taking a smaller but enjoyable jaunt up Mt Crescent. More #redlineguides were going to participate in our #guidesdayoff but a bunch of last minute things altered our plans. Still we had @mikecherim @mikeymace724 and @seltzerphoebe out there and they had a good one! https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckjk8OUrnvL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@mikeymace724 told us the bag weighed about ten pounds. About ten pounds of TRASH. Someone's cookout TRASH left on Mt Bond, located in the last of New Hampshire's wild areas. Wth?! Whoever left it should be slapped. Hard. And Redline Guide Mike Maciel, given a medal for trucking it out on his back (over ten miles). Thanks Mike! . . . #lnt #leavenotrace #carryincarryout #doinggood #mountainstewardship #noplacefortrash #wmnf #wmnfhikers #redlineguides #redlineguiding https://www.instagram.com/p/CFDaK0GsqZS/?igshid=xb9pbce1cjy1

The site of yesterday's private wedding. It was supposed to be atop Cathedral Ledge but they wouldn't allow it because of the wind. They were desperate for a field with sight of the ledge. They weren't from around here, but I knew of a place. It was actually pretty awesome. . . . #wedding #outdoorwedding #nature #marriage #nuptials #northconway #whitemountains #justiceofthepeace #localknowledge #redlineguiding #redlineguides https://www.instagram.com/p/CEjX8HWM-Wn/?igshid=1rxl5xflrmkhp

Navigating in the rain. Half of the class -- the riskier indoor part -- was conducted virtually yesterday while the safer outdoor segment was done today. Due to limited sight lines, we still need an additional hour of class. . . . #wildernessnavigation #landnavigation #outdooreducation #wildernesseducation #continuededucation #mapandcompass #redlineguiding #redlineguides https://www.instagram.com/p/CEet_fAMxLW/?igshid=oa4s8wlalknr

Day two of our @rockhopperraces /Redline Guiding weekend Wilderness First Aid (WFA). Our class is outside of the Redline Guiding's Basecamp this time. We began indoors, but the students opted for the dooryard. Again, it was nice out and it felt safer so we were all for it. Thanks to Redline Guide Howard Aronson for helping out. Howard was in the class and is easing back into guiding. . . . #outdooreducation #wildernessfirstaid #wfa #continuingeducation #learning #learntosavealife #cpr #aed #wildernessmedicine #basecamp #redlineguides #redlineguiding https://www.instagram.com/p/CD-VgIXM2Vx/?igshid=1jgqm24q76ik1

Today our @rockhopperraces /Redline Guiding weekend Wilderness First Aid (WFA) class begins with a SOLO instructor on point. Our class is outside of the Pinkham Notch Visitor Center. We had rented a classroom, but the class ended up outside (long story). It is nice out and it feels safer so there are no complaints. . . . #outdooreducation #wildernessfirstaid #wfa #continuingeducation #learning #learntosavealife #cpr #aed #wildernessmedicine #redlineguides #redlineguiding https://www.instagram.com/p/CD6ejU4MODP/?igshid=1pczcwyw2gctw

No photos or blog post of this wedding (permission wasn't given) but we did marry a couple on the Mt Washington summit today! @mikeymace724 took some of the photos. . . . . #wedding #justmarried #mountainwedding #mtwashington #mountwashington #elopement #newhampshire #whitemountains #wmnf #goforit #justiceofthepeace #jp #wildwedding #redlineguides #redlineguiding https://www.instagram.com/p/CDzh1zDML3Q/?igshid=wekcqfx96npt

The modern guide carries: L-R... PPE to include nitrile gloves, faceshield, goggles, portable BVM, surgical masks, hand sanitizer, Buff, pulse oximeter, and a touchless thermometer. The last two items don't get carried in the field. What's in your kit? . . . #wereready #ppe #safetyfirst #coronavirus #covid19 #newnormal #2020 #redlineguiding #redlineguides https://www.instagram.com/p/CDUMAdTs0Qa/?igshid=61gkagxmp6e9

In preparation for our 7/1 re-opening we have ordered a lot of PPE and other related items. One such thing to come in are some BVMs (Bag Valve Masks) for our guides. These allow our guides to perform no-contact rescue breaths on our guests during CPR, if needed. Moving forward things like this will be the standard. . . . . #rescue #cpr #bagvalvemask #guiding #highstandards #safetyfirst #personalprotectiveequipment #redlineguides #redlineguiding https://www.instagram.com/p/CBLV4EzHHlu/?igshid=1elqdm5if3mb7

Our virtual classroom is doing its thing. It's not as good as in person, but we are filling minds nonetheless. And it's fun! . . . . #virtuallearning #virtualcourse #virtualclassroom #teleconference #remotelearning #continuededucation #wildernessnavigation #wildnav #landnavigation #mapandcompass #topomaps #zoom #zoommeeting #outdooreducation #redlineguiding #redlineguides https://www.instagram.com/p/CAgpwCNHKTA/?igshid=1kay4g8357bns

Redline Guide @ryanmcguire84 has been busy putting together PPE kits to go in our "Ready Packs" along with PPE kits for our guides. @mikecherim also ordered one of those fancy thermometers and a pulse oximeter for Basecamp. The whole idea is to be ready once we think it's safe enough to re-open. This will probably lag behind the state's decision (safety first) but that does remain to be seen. We figure we can lead and teach while maintaining some social distancing, but we will have PPE for all parties should we need to close that distance. This is all uncharted territory for us, and we're risk-adverse, so hopefully we are making sound choices as we plan for the future. . . . . . #safetyfirst #covidresponse #coronaviruslife #personalprotectiveequipment #ppe #thinkingoutsidethebox #planningforthefuture #planningahead #doingourpart #redlineguides #redlineguiding https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Ut6RIn2uL/?igshid=1xhxv529jcbmb
