Hey Snoshoo,
From what I've heard about the wilderness emt school is that it's tough. My boss was describing to me the kind of training they put him through and you're dealing with all kinds of possible scenarios out in the wilderness away from civilization. It focuses on you being in a position of providing care, and instructing others who have no training but are part of the group to help do things to help. A wilderness emt is able to set bones, and to cease cpr, but they can't pronounce them dead. My boss was telling me about one particular scenario he was tested on. Him and 2 other people had to go on a hike through the woods and had to camp out over night. Well the one guy takes off running down the hill and ends up going unconscious during the run, so of course he falls down and breaks his femer (spelling?) bone in the process. So boss had to give care to him and decided from the nature of his injuries not to move him. Well it was already getting dark at that time, so he decided to find a place to set up camp rather than 2 people carry him so close to dark and get lost, and send the girl off in the morning backtracking the trail to go get help. He would instruct her on how to do it and with using a compass. Well the next day comes along and something happened to her, but she wasn't unconscious. So my boss had to deal with providing care for both of them, and making decisions on what to do all the way out there away from civilization. He's trained in providing care out there in the wilderness without 911, and to make decisions as the "tour guide" that would be in their best interest in getting them home and to advanced medical personnel.
I think it's pretty interesting. They should be sending me to that school sometime next year
