[Dima]

Can someone recommend the best, but not expensive way to do it, please?

What exactly are you looking for? Red Cross Community First Aid (useless)? MOFA? WFR? What sort of rescue?

There was a discussion on this topic last week. Do a search or go back a couple pages of post and browse around...

See this thread. I believe that it's the same one to which ehmmic was referring.

I've been researching this topic for a while. Here is the best place I found.

I don't know anyone that has gone there, but it looks pretty first class. I plan on getting my W-EMT next summer at the Washington location.

 

Get Wilderness 911 by Dr. Eric Weiss. It's a good first wilderness medicine book. Once you read that and know it backwards and forwards, get his other book (I forgot the title)geared for medical professionals.

I dont recommend internet first aid courses based upon shithouse lawyers. Take a course.

 

BTW the techniques and opinions advance and change often for some areas.

 

 

Remember that shit changes like I said above and when you should change is kind of confusing for techniques and formalities depending...

Thanks to ALL

 

I got more info then I have time to checkout, especially with that thread that some nice fella sent me.
