Wilderness Medicine and First Aid

You do realize that this EllieMonson character is a marketing spammer, or a bot?
Check out his/her other posts.

BTW, concerning CBD oil, I tried it and it didn’t do anything for me. Save your money for something else that works.
 
If you can stomach the egos and politics, National Ski Patrol has very good program for outdoor emergency care. I am an EMT, and the NSP Basic course is probably 60% of the EMT class content with more hands-on and practical experience.
 
Good write up. I took a grid-down first aid class that was an excellent refresher from Combat Lifesaver (Army course).
 
Several points worth considering:

1. I carry "Medicine for Mountaineering" in my First Aid Bag.
2. I carry spare eyeglasses in my bag.
3. NOT TRUE: "***Note about anti-biotics***
If you've never taken them you could be allergic to them. Talk to a doctor prior to. When building a home first aid kit, you want something that is broad-spectrum and covers down on MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). Bactrim DS is a great option."
You must be exposed to an allergen at least once to develop anti-bodies/histamine reactions. I worked with a botanist who came in one day covered in ointment. He had developed the allergic rash to poison oak after 20 years exposure!
