The place below is holding a two day intensive wilderness and first aid safety course this weekend in Cedar Crest. I'm signing up 'cause I need some serious training when I'm out in the boonies! I'm wowfully inadequate on my CPR training and don't think I'd actually know how to use all the first aid stuff I have in my rigs in an emergency.
CURRICULUM:
This is a 2-day intensive training from Outside Medicine. Appropriate for all levels of experience (we find that everyone from ER doctors to day-hikers finds this course worthwhile). A majority of course time will be spent in hands-on learning through labs and simulations.
