The practice of the healing arts (including Wilderness First Responder) does not lend itself well to a cook book approach. There are endless variations in the severity and manifestations of injuries and illnesses, as well as individual differences in the way people respond. Add to this the variables of weather, terrain, modes of communication and transportation and you can see why a “one size fits all” answer to dilemmas you are likely to face in a wilderness setting is left wanting. The specific course of treatment will be tempered by the ever-changing conditions encountered in the wilderness. Wilderness First Responder training is a guide to making sound decisions under trying circumstances. To be able to do so, one must have a basic understanding of the underlying principles that support various courses of action.
