Wilderness First Aid is a great course for outdoorsmen, who do not need WFR level certification.

You will learn so much more than a regular Red Cross 1st aid course and hopefully learn it in an environment similar to one you could find yourself in with a real deal medical emergency.

You guys should jump on this.
