I wish that everyone could have attended our General Meeting. Rick Brunner, an EMT Instructor talked about what we can do if we encounter an emergency while driving in the back country. He provided the list below that he recommends that we carry with us. If not all of it, at least this will give you good guidance on some items to pull together for an emergency bag. Rick informed us that all of this is available on Amazon. If there are some who are interested in a more intensive first aid classes, especially for CPR training, send me an email and I can help organize a class.
