Wilderness First Aid
April 22-23, 1o am-6 pm
This is a very good question. Why wilderness first aid vs a regular first aid class? Here are a few reasons why wilderness first aid is a good idea.
- The wilderness approach is more adaptable to rural areas and disaster situations where resources may be scarce or far away.
- Wilderness protocols are easy to integrate with natural healing and herbal first aid.
- The wilderness training is challenging and stimulating.
- Much of the training is outside using realistic scenarios to help you feel more prepared.
- The wilderness first aid kit list is more comprehensive than the average first aid kit list.
- Class size is small to ensure that each student gets attention during the training and scenarios.
