Cert. Wilderness First Responder

Wilderness First Responder is kind of like an EMT but in the wilderness. There are different more primitive techniques that we learned and used. They put us through 8 hours of medical classes a day and scenarios on top of that.

We had to take care of all sorts of injuries. Here there was a victim with a broken femur. They used make up and different contraptions to make all the injuries look incredibly life like.

Some Scenarios carried on through the night in sub zero temps and cold wet victims who suffered from a range of broken bones, allergic reaction, heart attacks, and even amputations.

To spice things up the instructors through in Multiple casualty scenarios in plane crashes or ski lift accidents.
