This course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide effective first aid in remote or wilderness settings where professional medical help may not be readily available.
Throughout this course, participants will learn how to assess and respond to various medical emergencies that can occur in the wilderness, such as injuries from falls, bites and stings, environmental emergencies, and more.
Key topics covered in this course include:
Principles of wilderness first aid
Patient assessment techniques
Prioritizing care in remote settings
Managing injuries, wounds, and fractures
Dealing with environmental emergencies (e.g., hypothermia, heat exhaustion)
Medical emergencies (e.g., allergic reactions, asthma attacks)
Improvising first aid materials in the wilderness
Communication and evacuation procedures
Our experienced instructors will provide hands-on training, scenario-based learning exercises, and practical skills demonstrations to ensure that participants feel confident and capable of responding to emergencies in the wilderness.
By the end of this course, participants will be better prepared to handle medical emergencies in remote environments, making them valuable assets for outdoor enthusiasts, wilderness guides, hikers, campers, and anyone else who spends time in the great outdoors.
Join us in developing your wilderness first aid skills and become a more confident and competent first responder in the wilderness!
