Why Wilderness First Aid?

[mellybean71]

I was thinking this morning that it might seem kind of pointless for someone like me to have taken this course.  Sure, I go to camp several times a year but it's not like we backpack out into the mountains or anything like that.  I'm not a outdoorsman, I'm not going to spend a week camping in the backcountry

Well, it's sort of like learning to swim. Most drownings happen to people who weren't out swimming, or even boating.

Wilderness first aid would be very handy if you were ever in a plane crash in the wilderness, and lots of flights fly over wilderness.

All knowledge is useful. :-) I know who I want to be with if the sh*t hits the fan. :-)
