Medical Preparedness for the Outdoorsman

      It has happened many times. People go into the great outdoors and get badly hurt through no fault of their own or pure negligence. How Many People are Killed or Injured in Hunting Accidents? According to the International Hunter Education Association, approximately 1,000 over a period of time. Now hiking and other outdoor activities numbers are not quite so high. But, how many times on the nightly news you see someone in the national forest becoming a casualty? Could they have saved themselves or helped someone that was hurt in their group? It comes down to a matter of training and keeping their wits about them. 

     You may have seen such techniques and skills used on survival reality shows. You may have known someone saved overseas by their military medical training. What if you could take a course that will give you the basics of how to deal with an injury to yourself or someone you know till you can get to help? What would you be willing to pay for that kind of lifesaving information?
