Wilderness and Remote First Aid

Danger will be waiting for us through every pass and around every corner.  Becasue we will be so far removed from civiilization it will be wise for some of us to be trained in Wilderness and Remote First Aid.  We've elected to work through the American Red Cross' Wilderness and Remote First Aid course provided by Active Source, Inc.  The course includes training on what to do in the case of:

• Head (Brain), Neck and Spinal Injuries
• Heat-Related Emergencies
• Hypothermia
• Altitude-Related Illnesses
• Allergies and Anaphylaxis
• Burns
• Bone and Joint Injuries
• Wounds and Wound Infection
