A Wilderness/Remote Medicine Sub-Forum

[untamed]

Why don't we start with a sticky and see how many posts we get. We'll leave the topic open and run with it for a while. If it seems like it gets a lot of traffic, we can approach SPARK and see what he says.

Now, here is the reality. This WS&S forum is on Bladeforums and accordingly, most posts have more knife content than skills or survival content. This is fine considering it is what we expect and it is part of our passion here. I am going to assume the thread will be popular at first then slow down to a virtual stop.

Copy Kevin (same with Esav). As mods who consider the technical feasibility of such things, I appreciate what you both are trying to say.

While reading information on the internet can be invaluable, I think that you would be better served by taking a first aid course or a wilderness first responder course. That way you would get hands on experience and a trained professional would tell you if you were doing something wrong.

I certainly understand what you're trying to bring across. Let me be clear however that we both have the same understanding and sensibility that "net learning" can never be a substitute for actual training and skills development from real, competent instructors. The purpose for my suggestion was merely to put up a resource to supplement learning.

I just asked Spark to consider a Heealth & Safety prefix, not just for W&SS, but as a General Purpose prefix, because one of the knifemakers asked me about a similar need on their forums. And of course other areas also address safety issues and could use it.

Let's see what he can do for us.
