Hi Travellers,
Thinking about all of us as I was attending a Re-certification of my wilderness medical certificate this week-end. We (Adventure Bike tourers)cross many voids in our attempt to see remote places,peoples and the freedom we enjoy. However, has anyone ever thought, hey, what if I broke a shoulder or my partner falls off thier bike and breaks a leg or an ankle? can I render medical help? Think about it,(you're 50-100 miles from the nearest medical help, weather is snowy, 10-12000ft or in the remote desert areas somewhere? what is the big picture? Not only the injury, environmental threats, evacuation, your own safety etc... ) you're 50-100 miles from the nearest medical help, weather is snowy, 10-12000 ft or in the remote desert areas somewhere? what is the big picture? Not only the injury, environmental threats,evacuation, your own safety etc...) I hope this provokes people to think about taking a wilderness first aid course or at least a first aid course before setting out. Hope to hear from you.
