💊What’s in your first aid kit? A few well-chosen over-the-counter meds can make a big difference in the backcountry, on a long hike, or even a full day out on the boat! Here’s a sample of some over-the-counter meds that one of our students who carries when they go camping with family.

In our Wilderness Medicine courses, you’ll learn exactly what to carry, why it matters, and how to use it when help is hours away.

The Answer is A. 🌭
With summer bringing more backyard BBQs, camping trips, and meals around a fire (like brats and hot dogs), it’s crucial to know what to do in a choking emergency. We teach the Heimlich maneuver AKA foreign body airway obstruction (FBAO), along with CPR, in the majority of our Wilderness Medicine courses. Want to learn these life-saving skills along with others?
