I am looking at possible trying to get my Wilderness First Responder Cert done but I was wondering if anyone has ever done this? NOLS has a 10 day course that seems pretty cool.

I am looking at doing this as well here in Oregon, our course is shorter than that though. Wonder if there are different levels of certs?

WFR Cert here! I did mine through wilderness medical associates. (WMA) - mine was 8 days for 80 hours. I've only "used" my cert in the real world, for severe hypothermia. TOTALLY worth it if you adventure out a lot.
