Will I learn basic first aid before something goes wrong and I need to use that knowledge, either for myself or for someone else?


After talking to a couple search and rescue people, I don't feel a need to officially be an EMT, but I want to be able to self-rescue or at least stay alive until access to a doctor is possible.

Resolved to yes. I passed my WFR certification!

I've enrolled in a wilderness first responder class in January and plan to learn CPR in April or May. So if everyone could please hold off on having heart attacks till then, thanks.

predictedYES

@Alice Actually, it looks like I'll be able to do my CPR certification in January.

predictedYES

So far, I've found a few possible classes for next spring and am trying to get my house to join me.

On base rates, people that learn first aid are 10x people that need first aid

predictedYES

@Lorenzo Hopefully I'll never fall into the "needs first aid" camp, but in the span of just a month, I or people I hike with have encountered grizzlies, been caught in thunderstorms, slid down steep slopes, run from moose, dodged rockfall, gotten lost in the dark, suffered altitude sickness, and gone to the emergency room. (It turned out to be nothing serious.) So I have plenty of incentives to learn first aid and be self-sufficient!

Great goal, good luck!

predictedYES

@GavrielK Thank you!

Just to clarify, how does this resolve if you've neither learned first aid nor needed it by 2023-12-31?

@dreev I'd extend the close date each year until I either learn first aid or need it. Thanks for clarifying!
