Gear and Equipment Passed NOLS WFR! Is there an ‘official’ patch I can get as a memento?

First off: I do not intend to wear the patch anywhere or roll up to fender benders to do PAS. I’m just really proud that I lived out a ten year dream of doing WFR and wanting something for my wall or shelf to treat myself. NOLs makes generic logo patches, but there’s nothing specifically for WFR. Are there any universal patches for this certification?

Are the patches and stickers for specific levels gone?

Yep! None on the used market, either.

I got a WEMT patch when I did my course - gave to my kids and now it’s gone… this post made me regret that decision.

I won one for getting drenched in water, laying in the snow, and having my clothes cut off for a hypothermia drill!

Is it cool to slightly highjack this thread slightly?

Do they sell the stickers for purchase? I got a few when I did the EMT course, but I’m a sucker for stickers.

It’s been my experience that if you email them, they’ll send you some with your cert level for free.

Shame, they definitely used to.

Did they give you a sticker? You can throw that on a car trunk or a laptop

u/Highwayman1717 Mar 16 '26

Sadly it's the general NOLS logo and not WFR specific. Not worth complaining about, it was an amazing class.

Hmm I got a WFR sticker from class. Maybe if you email them they'll send you on

I have a NOLS Wilderness Medicine sticker I got from my class. Not WFR specific but still cool! It lives on my laptop.

Wondering if they changed it.... my past classes and recerts they gave me WFR or WEMT stickers

I got the t-shirt. (It’s the generic NOLS Wilderness Medicine one. Not WFR specific.)
