Do note that the REI/NOLS WFA course does not include CPR. There's already too much info crammed into those 16 hours! You need to get CPR separately from your local American Red Cross chapter. These days, CPR includes training in the use of a portable electronic defibrillator, a piece of gear you won't have in the wilds, but increasingly common (and very useful) in more civilized parts. Often you can get free CPR training from your place of work or through an organization such as church or youth groups.

I notice they've really jacked up the prices for WFA; it was $200 for REI members last year! Worth every penny, though, IMHO!
