Funding rationale:

Wilderness First Aid is an essential skill for our members who can face the possibility of being with an injured subject (or team member) for an extended period of time. This becomes a more likely scenario in our mountainous regions where due to extremely high winds helicopters often are not able to fly. Our identified instructor teaches Red Cross's material with a special eye to SAR requirements.
