Are you ready for the unexpected? You come across a hiker bleeding seriously from a fall - could you stop the bleed? Could you help a person who was drowning, having a stroke, choking or having a life-threatening allergic reaction? Would you be calm and confident in your ability to respond to an emergency? Nicole Roma Thurrell of the Institute for Wild Med teaches us how to be prepared.
