So, I am having problems posting long messages again... so part II of above post:

Take a First Responder class instead, you'll learn more important life saving skills than starting an IV and it is only a 40-60 hour commitment. A Wilderness First Responder Class would offer more pertinent information and training for the survival setting.

Wilderness Medical Associates, Stonehearth Open Learning Opportunities and, National Outdoor Leadership School all offer good Wilderness First Aid and Wilderness First Responder programs. While I have only taken medical classes from S.O.L.O., I have taken courses from all three of these organizations and can, without hesitation, recommend each of them.
