Wilderness First Aid
Wilderness First Aid is a basic course in emergency response for almost any location. This 16-hour course is for those 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 a more advanced treatment center.
The American Camping Association and The Boy Scouts of America have approved the American Red Cross Wilderness First Aid Basics.
This Course Covers:
- Basic First Aid Skills
- Assessment of Delayed-Help Situations
- Emergency Action Steps
- Emergency Evacuation
- Treatment of Injuries
This course is ideal for:
- Hikers and Backpackers
- Scouting leaders and older scouts
- Kayakers
- Farm workers
- Utility workers in remote areas
- Forest Rangers
- Law enforcement and rescue crews
However, anyone interested is encouraged to sign up for the course. Training in First Aid is a valuable life skill and may help you save a life...even your own!
