Remarkable video. What these guys are doing is amazing and it changes some of my perceptions. My fear is that others, without the same skill, might try the same and they are betting with their life on the results.

Good article but like affirmation, without taking action, just words. The wilderness course mentioned is involved and does take some time. In the mean time though, most communities offer basic first aid and local fire departments can generally direct you to different levels of training. Every skydiver can easily carry a cell phone (disposable one from Walmart !) with important numbers preprogrammed along with a basic map of any new area you might be visiting. This is simple and can make a difference. In the basic first aid courses today the steps are to stabilize and dial 911. Things that anyone can learn.
