Wilderness First Aid Course\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Wilderness First Aid Course was attended by 12 CORE members. The course opened up many discussions on how prepared you are prior to the meetup of the event. What is needed for an incident while on a event. The course also, covered the ABC’s of first aid as well many different ways to treat an incident while on\u00a0the\u00a0event. Key item to remember is when you are out in the mountains, cell phones may not work, who\u00a0is aware of your arrival\u00a0time back home, and how prepared you are \u00a0in case you have an emergency in the mountains?<\/p>\n
