The WMI Wilderness First Aid course is an EXCELLENT one. Particularly for a problem like this one where the EMT's may be an hour or more away. The current ARC First Aid (not Wilderness First Aid) course is designed for urban situations where EMT's are minutes away.

I also agree with the recommendation for A type 2 or 3 vest or jacket in the car as well as flares (the traditional or LED type) to insure safety. The headlamp in my car has a flashing red light in the back and I carry other small flashers (EGear Guardian) to mark people and things that might be in the way.

The tourniquet has been discussed lots on this forum, and I for one carry one in my car kit, especially when I am out of the local area (built up).

Respectfully,

Jerry
