Basic Essentials of First Aid Outdoors

Treat problems you and your group might encounter when you venture into the great outdoors! Proper treatment of an injury or incident will make the victim more comfortable and safe during the time it takes to get professional medical attention.

Diagnose contact dermatitis obtained from plants found along trails and around camp. Be prepared for allergic reactions to bites and stings. Know the difference between a fracture and a sprain. Understand the use of over-the-counter medications which treat sicknesses that might unnecessarily end or interrupt your excursion. Design your own first-aid-kit.
