Wilderness First Aid/ASHI

This comprehensive 16-hour course meets or exceeds the Boy Scouts of America wilderness first aid curriculum and doctrine guidelines, 2017 Edition.  Topics include preparation and assessment, preventing and caring for injuries and illnesses, environmental hazards, and other wilderness considerations.
