Are you an adventurer? Do you spend time in the backcountry? Get trained in basic first aid. Having a first aid kit isn't enough- you need to know how to use what's in it. Responding to an emergency on the trail can be stressful and it isn't the time to learn how to apply a tourniquet. Practice in a controlled environment and build muscle memory, so that when you do have to act, you're calm and able to assist. I decided to take action so I can render aid to my family on our Jeep adventures. I took the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) Wilderness First Responder certification class. It was 10 days of hands-on first-aid training that included classroom lectures and 26 responder scenarios and rescues. There is a shorter 3-day version of the class that teaches wilderness first aid but omits the first responder aspect.
