Looking for feedback based on experiences.
Has anyone done either the “wilderness” first aid course or the “traditional” (Red Cross equivalent) first aid course?
I’ve been hunting my whole life, but with my wife coming out for her first time hunt this archery elk season, I’m feeling a pull to get a little better prepared than just my inreach and basic first aid kit with the basics. Ha!
The “wilderness” course is a two day course through NOLS, and I feel it might be a little overkill for what the average hunter might require??
Obviously more is better… But…
Just wondering if a “traditional” type, 1 day course would be extremely helpful this archery and rifle season? I don’t know how in-depth they would go into lacerations or broken bones, etc.
PS. I’m considering having my entire office take the course, and for anyone who watched “The Office” might recall that awesome scene with Dwight Schrute and the cut off face and can’t promise that I won’t do the same to my staff.![Face with tears of joy :joy: 😂](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f602.png)
