Hey /out/, I have most of the gear I need but I want to expand the skills aspect of my toolbox, does anyone have advice for taking a wilderness 1st aid or medic class? It looks like there are lots of options. I am already cpr and 1st aid certified through my job, which basically means I know how to stop bleeding and crush ribs. What is the best way to acquire life saving skills, and if you have specific certs to recommend I would appreciate it. I'll post some misc. pictures in the meantime.

You should go the opposite route, take up a martial art and learn to hurt people, you are more likely to have to hurt someone then you are to help them

Fair point, I'm already fairly competent in that regard though. A few years of kickboxing plus guns knives and axes leave me feeling plenty safe. But if someone cut themselves badly or hit their head on a rock bullets won't make them better.

The Siren class in Borderlands had a perk that let her heal allies by shooting them. I, however, am not a Siren.

EMT here

If you want to go whole hog, go get your EMT or First Responder certifications. There is a wilderness medicine course you can take after you get your EMT that teaches some good stuff.

That being said, even a doctor isn't gonna be all that useful, there's only so much someone can do in the field. Your cheapest option is going to be focusing on learning skills designed to evac somebody, i.e making a litter, improvising a splint and the like
