The primary purpose of the American Red Cross Wilderness and Remote First Aid course is to provide individuals a foundation of first aid principles and skills to be able to respond to emergencies and give care in areas that do not have immediate emergency medical services (EMS) response, such as wilderness and remote environments, including urban disasters, such as earthquakes and hurricanes. In this course you will also develop leadership skills and learn how to help prevent, plan for and respond to emergencies.
Assemble items for a wilderness and remote first aid kit prior to the course based on the kit items included in the emergency reference guide. Make sure sufficient material is at hand during the scenarios for the participants to successfully implement or improvise the appropriate treatment. The scenarios may be more realistic if participants are asked to bring their own equipment in a backpack. However, that is not always practical. but it is not required.
It is suggested that you bring with you any supplies you would normally have on hand for either a day hike or a backpacking trip or other outdoor setting in order to best replicate the equipment that you may be required to use in an emergency situation.These supplies may include, but are not limited to, a day pack or backpack, a tent and ground cloth/tarp, a sleeping bag, a foam sleeping pad, a flashlight or headlamp, a hat,sunscreen and a first aid kit. Again, you are encouraged to have your own wilderness first aid kit and/or backpack for the course.
