All MGS guides maintain current Wilderness First Aid/Wilderness First Responder and CPR certification.
We carry a satellite phone that works in all northern latitudes where we operate our cultural trips.
Having Indigenous guides with us is a huge safety factor. No one knows the area, weather, ice conditions, water levels, etc. better than them.
I can’t think of a better trip leader for our Allagash experience. Your quiet competence was a perfect match for the quiet beauty of this land and water.
