Alternative Training Opportunity

I feel like my knowledge of first aid was definitely lacking, and don’t know what I would do should something happen to myself or a companion if weren’t able to get help immediately. As a replacement for the training workshop at the Chicago Botanic Garden I took a Wilderness First Responder certification course. Now, I’m very confident in my ability to handle emergency medical situations in the field, though I hope I never have to use those skills…

Understand that prevention is the best medicine. Never purposely attempt to put crew members in harm’s way. Euthanasia is also strongly discouraged, and is illegal to perform in a wilderness setting.
