Most of us will cover many miles and sleep many nights in wilds of the world. We are usually as safe there as we are in our own bedrooms. But, just like at home, at times things can happen. Some of these things that occur cause bones to break, blood to flow, and skin to burn. You must know what to do and do it if the need arises. Remember to take charge, assess and assure. Be in control, evaluate the environment for other dangers, and assure your casualty that all is well. Treat the injury and then treat for shock.
By following my simple guidelines, reading more on first aid, taking a course offered by the Red Cross or other organizations, you too can develop the knowledge needed to treat all types of injuries. Plan for the worse and expect it. Know that things can go wrong and usually will at the most inconvenient time. Remember, through preparation you too can be a survivor!
One aspect of this article that is important to remember is that these steps are for use only in emergency situations until qualified help arrives. If you must apply any first aid, or use survival techniques, do so with extreme caution. The results of your actions will be yours and no one else’s. And, remember, no two emergency situations are ever the same. So, it would be foolish of me to give you the impression that I have all the answers. I do not. Only the person on the scene can accurately make the difficult calls that are often made in emergencies. The whole purpose of these articles is to stimulate your thought processes and to motivate you to learn more. I hope we have succeeded.
