+Riddlers Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I have tried for a long time to come up with something not expensive to me but still worthy of a FTF prize that would work. Would it be dumb to offer the FTF a CPR class for two free of charge to be used within say three months of finding? It would be something worthwhile that I could give, something that we all should know, and something not everyone is offering. Or is this just a dumb idea and I should go back to putting gold dollars in there? Quote Link to comment
+Cave Troll and Eeyore Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Sounds good to me. A very worthwhile course that could save a life. Quote Link to comment
+BAF Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Sounds good to me.A very worthwhile course that could save a life. Same here Quote Link to comment
+LeatherKnight Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 That sounds very original and worthwhile. Would you be giving the class? In many cases, I think that a great FTF prize would be meeting the person who placed the cache. I've never met a cacher I didn't like. Great idea, Riddlers. Quote Link to comment
+clearpath Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 (edited) Sounds like a very creative ftf prize. However, to some people it could seem like a prize with a 'catch'. On the one hand you get free CPR lessons, on the other you must now find time in your busy day to take advantage of the free lessons. Edited May 30, 2004 by clearpath Quote Link to comment
+95_Camaro_Couple Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I think it's worthwhile! Of course, just because you're FTF doesn't mean you have to take the FTF prize. If they're already CPR certified or don't want to take the time to learn, that's up to them. I say it's a great idea! Paula Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I would pass on the class. "Stop that rhyming and I mean it. Anyone want a peanut?" Quote Link to comment
+Riddlers Posted May 31, 2004 Author Share Posted May 31, 2004 I would pass on the class. meaning you would pass the class on to someone you know who needs it or pass on taking the class. Yes, I would give the class. Quote Link to comment
+jeff35080 Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 A prize that could help you save the life of a friend or family member is a great idea. I think it's a great idea and give it two-thumbs up! Quote Link to comment
dampeoples Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I would pass on it as well, having had the class for the past five or so years through work, but it's a great idea. Not all cachers would want it, some seem to think that they're going to find gold one day, but someone will take advantage of it to be sure. Quote Link to comment
+Chillibusher Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I would jump in the car and race for that FTF. Sounds good to me. Quote Link to comment
+95_Camaro_Couple Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I would jump in the car and race for that FTF. Sounds good to me. Just make sure you wear your seatbelt and obey the traffic laws...we don't want to have to end up using CPR on you! Paula Quote Link to comment
+TeamK-9 Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I would pass on the class. meaning you would pass the class on to someone you know who needs it or pass on taking the class. Yes, I would give the class. My question would be, Are you a certified instructor. Cause I mean I'm first aid certified through the red cross, and I probably know enough to teach someone, but I'm not certified. My brother on the hand is 100% as an instructor and whenever he needs some cash, (for christmas shopping or something) he'll teach a few classes at the local red cross chapter where he's on their part time pay roll...

+opey one Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Good idea. I'm certified in advanced first aid and CPR, but wish that others were familiar with the practice. You may never know when you will have to help out in a situation. Will you know what to do? Those classes are important and worthwhile. I wish it was mandatory for companies to appoint or ask for volunteers like we do in our occupation. Being familiar, I would encourage others to participate. Quote Link to comment
+Riddlers Posted May 31, 2004 Author Share Posted May 31, 2004 (edited) yes, I even have my own dummies, and I am not refering to anyone I know. Edited May 31, 2004 by Riddlers Quote Link to comment
+Mud Puppy Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Excellent idea. Make sure to specify that the course is only from you and only locally so a tourist doesn't pick it up. Quote Link to comment
+Kitch Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Its something that is really cool idea.... To be honest I often think about taking classes since I have two little girls 4 and 1.5 yrs old. I never got around to it. I have had CPR classes in high school but has been over 15yrs since then. If something came up I'm going to try to do the best I could but wouldn't feel comfortable about my skill level. I know I'm not going to get my butt in gear to find classes in my area but if it was a FTF i'd be all over that....... Quote Link to comment
+tirediron Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Different, creative idea. Go for it... if someone doesn't like it, or isn't into it, they can pass. Quote Link to comment
+Stooper and B. Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 I wish I could find a ftf prize like that. I wish I could find a ftf prize period!! Quote Link to comment
+Team Perks Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Already being EMT certified, I would leave the prize for the next finder, but I agree that's a very worthwhile offer! Quote Link to comment
+Milbank Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Great idea! I'm sure someone would be more then happy to take it. Quote Link to comment
+ShadowAce Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Would it be dumb to offer the FTF a CPR class for two free of charge to be used within say three months of finding? When you hide your cache, please make sure it is near Tucson Arizona.. I want to retake the class since I have not had it in over 11 years and I would find it a lovely and worth racing for prize If you cannot hide it near Tucson, give me a days notice before it goes live and send me a plane ticket I will come hunting it happily.

+joefrog Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Personally, I think it's a GREAT idea. CPR is something that I believe everyone should learn! In fact, I may just have to use that idea around here occasionally, as well -- with credit given to you for the idea, of course! Quote Link to comment
