SOLO Basic Wilderness First Aid Classes
SOLO Basic Wilderness First Aid: Red Cross first aid training is certainly helpful, but when you are in a backwoods situation, you need more. This course will provide the knowledge you will need to deal with medical emergencies when you are more than one hour from medical care. In addition to patient assessment, this course will teach you how to treat immediate life threats, disabling injuries, hypothermia and other environmental hazards, fractures, sprains and more. Optional CPR instruction will also be available. The course is taught by the outstanding instructors from Stonehearth Outdoor Learning Opportunities (SOLO).
The Narragansett Chapter offers two trainings per year and certification lasts two years! Click below to see upcoming training or check-out other offerings of Wilderness First Aid from neighboring chapters!
