NASAR Basic Wilderness First Aid

Service Description

The BWFA trains you to understand and avoid wilderness hazards and do emergency care in the wilderness or anywhere, with whatever equipment you have or can improvise. The BWFA course prepares you for disaster situations, when emergency medical services and hospitals are overwhelmed or inaccessible. The BWFA course is designed to help you make logical and causal connections (not jut memorize lists of signs, symptoms and treatment) so that you understand what you are doing. How do the body systems work? What can go wrong with them because of injury, environmental stress, or medical condition? How can you tell what the problems are? What can you do to treat the problem and stabilize the patient when you are far from help?
