First Aid in the backcountry....use the winter time to learn some!

This post has been sitting as a draft for a while. It's time to post it!

Safety is number one out in the backcountry, but sometimes we do get hurt. Below is a great article about basic backcountry first aid.

"Whether you're a guide, trip leader, or just enjoy getting outdoors, Wilderness First Aid training is a fantastic thing to have. Our class ran the full spectrum of outdoor enthusiasts including five trip leaders from TerraMar Adventures, several river guides, and folks who enjoyed solo and extended trips. The skills we learned will be valuable for all of us. You'll learn how to care for people who are far from definitive medial care, and that kind of knowledge is priceless. Find a course near you through NOLS WMI."
