Wilderness First Aid Basics

March 2nd there will be a FREE Wilderness First Aid Basics class offered at REI in Hillsboro. For all the details, click here. While this class is geared toward backpackers, hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts, first aid skills are good for everyone to know. Even if you don't see yourself ever trudging around the woods on purpose, first aid skills can be used in a variety of situations, especially following a disaster when first responder resources are overwhelmed. And, as the Schoolhouse Rock theme song says, "It's great to learn, 'cause knowledge is power!"
