This past weekend, we had the honor of hosting a free Wilderness First Responder skills course. We had a great mix of area first responders and community members all showing up with the same goal: learning practical skills that save lives when help may be far away.
The course combined classroom instruction, hands-on skills, and an outdoor scenario, covering:
- Understanding wilderness response
- Environmental emergencies
- Wound management and splinting
- Stop-the-Bleed techniques
A big thank you to everyone who came out, asked great questions, and were fully engaged.
A special shout-out to our instructor, Kate Batten (NSH Paramedic / Certified Wilderness Paramedic) for outstanding instruction and leadership throughout the course.
