Just a heads up you're better off taking a regular Emt-B class and when out in the field thinking outside the box when it comes to splinting, treatments etc. if that makes sense. Most EMS systems DO NOT recognize wilderness first responders. In other words you get some cool wall candy from NOLS and you can do nothing with it...but hey you took the class! Check with your local EMS authority before you spend the time and money on the class. Sorry if I sound negative but I've been a Medic for a long time in a busy EMS system and I have seen countless people waste their time and money on a wilderness first responder course. I'd like to save you the hassle. If you have any questions don't be shy!
