Hi Hikers,
I take a Wilderness First Aid class every few year and I can't recommend it enough, whether you are a climber, skier, mountaineer, or just a someone who frequents the outdoors.

And it's not just for those heading into deep wilderness - nearly 90% of all incidents\* and 50% of all serious injuries\* happen within just a few hours drive of NYC. (*\*Based on my experience. I hear they also happen in other places.)*
