Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
My AHA cert, AHA instructor cert, AHA instructor instructor cert, and NREMT-B cert are all expired at this point. We are bringing a coupe of NREMT-Ps with us though. Out of the ten of us going, two are medics, and two of us have at one point had our basic certs.
And yeah, we're bringing bags for morning after cures.
Do not kill, do not rape, do not steal, these are principles that every man of every faith can embrace. These are not polite suggestions, these are codes of behavior and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost.
Thanks for getting in touch. We appreciate your willingness to help out but there will be emt's and medical personnel staffed throughout the campgrounds and Centeroo that would take care of such an emergency. Enjoy the festival!

Hi there,
I'm looking forward to attending Bonnaroo as a volunteer this year. Since I am CPR certified, I was wondering about AEDs at the festival. How accessible are AEDs in an emergency? Hopefully, it is information I will never have to use, but I want to know just in case.
I've taken the class and been certified twice... but I think my latest one expired in December. So, what happens when it's expired anyway? Am I still allowed to do CPR in an emergency?
You can still do CPR. I'm sure of that. 911 operators talk people through CPR over the phone. Some AEDs even give instructions for CPR. If someone needs CPR, you shouldn't be worried about doing it wrong. They are dead. If you do nothing, they are dead. If you do CPR, there is a chance they will live. Obviously, when help arrives, you step aside and let the professionals do their job.
But if you have a job that requires it, you'd need to be recertified.
It varies by state, but there are Good Samaritan laws in place to protect people who help in emergencies.
