Wilderness Emergency Care

Wilderness First Aid (WFA) and Wilderness First Responder (WFR) courses  train you to understand and avoid wilderness hazards and do emergency care in the wilderness or anywhere, with whatever equipment you have or can improvise. So they also prepare you for disaster situations, when emergency medical services and hospitals are overwhelmed or inaccessible.

These courses are designed to help you make logical and causal connections (not just memorize lists of signs, symptoms and treatment) so that you understand what you are doing. How do the body systems work? What can go wrong with them because of injury, environmental stress, or a medical condition? How can you tell what the problems are? What can you do to treat the problems and stabilize the patient when you are far from help?
