  • Incredibly useful information that is well presented

    I think AWLS will literally save lives with the information they are presenting in this accessible, interesting podcast. I started listening to the podcast after taking the AWLS wilderness first responder course, which is another example of how dedicated, passionate teachers are using the internet to make education more accessible and cost-effective.
