Wilderness 1st Aid and CPR

 

 

 

Philosophy


As careful as we all try to be on the water, eventually we or someone we paddle with will get injured on the water. It is important to be prepared for the eventuality. A saying I grew up with was, “I would rather have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it”. The ‘it’ in this instance is knowledge. You have taken the time to learn to paddle, take the time to learn how to take care of yourselves and others.
