    Everyone who gets outdoors and wheels needs some basic First Aid knowledge as well as a decent First Aid kit. I would highly recommend people take this. It could save someone's life....and may save yours...

    I'm interested. I started college with EMT training. Fun stuff, just not fond of wiping old butts for a living.

    Depending on how the new job pans out, I'd like to help/refresh in this area.

    Interested....& Certifiable no doubt, just not in FA & CPR. Took a class years ago & would be nice to get a follow up.

    Wow, lots of good interest.

    I'm constantly getting new and current first aid/CPR certifications. If I can help in any way I'm happy to.

    I'm coming in late to this thread and admit I haven't read it all but think that we could incorporate a field first-aid with a run like Pete did with the recovery run.

    I suggested that early on as this is best done for this particular sport in a more 'real world' scenario than in a classroom type environment. The same things can still be taught and in a more fun and scenic setting, but the benefits are more than that. Setting up a real world incident where someone has legs caught under a tire, like when working on a rig and the jack fails or shifts, tagged by a broken winch line, losing a finger or hand, broken bones caused by any one of a number of things, or any one of a number of other common 4x4 related injuries, are best done in the field with real rigs and real people.

    Improvisation is also best done in the field, ideally with a less than adequate first aid kit and having to utilize what is "on hand" to save a life, splint or otherwise immobilize a limb, head, neck, or spine injury, stop a sucking chest wound, patch a bullet wound, etc., etc., etc.

    agreed, out in the field is a much better "classroom".
