As far as the experience of your fellow crew members goes, read Chris Kavanaugh's account of his trip to the island on the ETS website.

People get hurt on film sets all the time, even small documentary crews, I call it job security...;^)

Have fun if you get to go, hope you're getting paid for your work.

Thanks for the advice.

For first aid (assuming I go) there will be 2 of us with first aid qualifications. I still have 1st Responder certification and one other person has various civilian first aid certs.

As for the money, I will be taking vacation time from work so I will not be out any wages in that regard. As for being paid for this job, it will pay a bit more then my regular job does. Due to us not wanting for much financially, I will be donating half the money to a firefighters benevolent fund that we are deeply committed to. The other half of the money will be donated to a nature trust fund that we have supported financially and via volunteer work over the years.
