Adventure for Life owner Iain Lygo also upgraded his first aid qualifications and is now an internationally recognised Wilderness First Responder. This course teaches students how to give advanced and extended patient care in a wilderness area.
Students also learn to give injections, wound care, and even how to create a traction splint for a mid shaft fractured femur out of camping equipment.
If you plan to take your team beyond an hour from definitive medical care on a hike, mountain bike ride, overnight camping or a cross country skiing tour, insist at least one of the guides is a wilderness first responder.
