This 16-hour course is a great introduction to wilderness medicine and basic life support skills. It's perfect for the outdoor enthusiast who wants more than what an urban first aid course provides. Did you know there is a correct and incorrect way to apply a tourniquet? Can you recognize and treat a cardiac emergency? The emphasis of the class is on recognizing and treating life-threatening traumatic and medical emergencies, common wilderness injuries, bandaging/splinting, and environmental injuries. CPR certification included in the curriculum. Fees include instruction and practice first aid supplies.
