First Aid in the Maine Wilderness

The Kennebec (ME) Journal has an article by Rex Turner in its 11 April 2007 issue titled "First-Aid training good for outdoors." It's basically about wilderness medicine and first aid, and the need to be able to discern when to seek an emergency evacuation ... as well as what to be doing while waiting for help.

The writer uses the scenario of "a week-long backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail" as an illustration.
