 Wilderness First Aid:
Making sure you know what to do in the case of an accident, is the most
important factor in surviving it. Being able to diagnose problems
such as Diarrhea, hypothermia and dehydration is also just as important
as knowing how to deal with it. Go into the bush armed with the
knowledge of being able to overcome most challenges. A great idea
is to take a weekend wilderness first aid course. These courses
are usually run out of local college's, are relatively inexpensive and
can save your life!
Carrying a complete first aid kit is a must
when you head out solo. We've put together a list of suggested
items to carry. Of course this is just guideline and you'll want
to add or subtract to it as you see fit. Your "personalized" kit
will vary depending on the region your traveling in and the duration of
the trip.

"Thousands
of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are
beginning to find out that going to the mountain is
going home; that wildness is necessity; that
mountain parks and reservations are useful not only
as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as
fountains of life".
John Muir
"We abuse land
because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us.
When we see land as a community to which we belong,
we may begin to use it with love and respect".
Aldo Leopold
"I have never
found a companion that was so companionable as
solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when
we go abroad among men than when we stay in our
chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone,
let him be where he will".
Henry David
Thoreau
