Just to add to this, I think this is a good example of why a Wilderness first aid course is better to take than a regular Red Cross or St. John's course. Wilderness first aid is taught with the underlying assumption that an ambulance is hours, or even days, away.
That is one of MANY reasons why we are trying to get more members of our Scouting District Wilderness First Aid training. It is offered within our council, but rarely near us. We are at the extreme outskirts of our council and can't get anyone to come here for the training til we get at least 25 people willing to take it. Of course I am on the list, first aid training is one of my MANY preparedness shortfalls I am working on.
