Well most of the training I've had was under the premise of getting someone to the hospital quickly, rather than knowing that a hospital is a good distance away.
If there's an affordable wilderness first aid course around here, i'd be interested in taking it.
Redneckmedic apparently offers classes (I read on another thread). Maybe he'll speak up about when/wjere/how much they are.
Working on scheduling another this fall for greater Indy, and also in the process of getting 3 more this fall at NWI, NEI, Southern In. Should have dates by the end of next week for all 4 classes. Local classes are $50 per person, I'm trying to figure out the extra $ for travel and lodging, but no more than $60 for a 3-4hr drive

Could you update us in this thread when you get your courses scheduled? I'd really like to attend. Every year we go through a CPR class for work, and we very lightly touch on first aid. Back in the service they pounded the training in our heads, but that's been 7 years ago. This kind of knowledge and training are a perishable skill and I am well overdue to brush up. I'm looking forward to the class.
You first!For a gun shot, just stick your field knife in hot coals till it glows red and stick it on the entry and exit wounds, reload and fight on....
You first!
In a pinch when stitches are a must, use waxed Dental Floss and the smallest hand stitch/sewing needle you can find. Heat the needle with a lighter, etc.
Some vodka might be a good idea too.
Smallest test lb mono filament you can find is much better... big fan of prolene
