When a friend of yours is injured while you are hiking it may take a long time for an ambulance to arrive.  You might even need to hike to a location for rescue. Your legs have large bones.   In this class we will show you how to stabilize a broken leg.  We will teach you how to read and understand the injured person’s vital signs so that you can make good decisions.  Should I hike out for help?  Can my friend hike out too?  What if it is an injured knee or ankle?  The class is structured with a short lecture at the beginning, followed by practice of the basic skills.  Once the skills are mastered we will simulate real-life accidental injuries to practice our skills.  It is our goal to teach everyone CPR and AED skills so we will do a short practice of these skills as well. 

There is no prior first aid skills or knowledge necessary for this class. go back
