Dress appropriately for outdoor participation, all skills will be conducted in the woods.
Wilderness First Aid is also a good basic course in backcountry emergency response for almost any location. This course is geared for people who work, live or play in remote areas – away from the usual EMS service. Even though the emergency workers near these areas may be trained to search for and rescue those in need, there may be a delay in the notification of assistance, the time required to get to the patient, or in moving the patient to more advanced treatment. It expands the concepts in First Aid: When Help is Delayed to give more detailed information and hands-on skills practice.
