What would be helpful is a one-page form to record facts during<BR>an incident, sending a copy with the runner going for help. I used to<BR>carry these, probably should again, but feel reasonably confident of<BR>noting the relevant info (vital statistics, location, resources<BR>available, resources needed, evacuation plan, etc.) in event of need.</DIV>

<DIV>****Check out Wilderness Solo, wilderness first aid classes or Adventure Medical I think offes them too. You would be surprised the different approaches to something like shock in regular RC first aid classes and wilderness first aid...think paramedics will be there in 3 minutes vs paramedics may never be there and you'll have go for help or walk out...</DIV>
<DIV>Taking a class assures you a book and REALLY good scenarios where you practice what you've learned...I would highly recommend them. Right now Red Cross does not offer anything similar. more than JMHO :). </DIV>
