Description

Precaution — along with knowledge of winter hazards and survival skills — is essential for safe winter wilderness travel. In the backcountry, you are the one responsible for your own safety. We are offering advice for some emergency situations, but it by no means gives all the information you need to know. Backcountry travelers are advised to learn survival first-aid and CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) techniques in case of accident or illness. Contact the St. John Ambulance or the Canadian Red Cross for information on CPR courses. A winter wilderness outing can be an enjoyable adventure. Proper preparation for emergency situations will give you the peace of mind to enjoy a great wilderness experience.
