My advice Gerry, is to invest a few dollars and some time and sign up for a NOLS/WMI Wilderness First Aid course (16-20 hours of time) or go full hog and take the Wilderness First Responder course (80 hours). It's WELL worth the money and they cover just about every conceivable scenario you're likely to encounter in the backcountry.
