OK, so we’ve talked about Bear Grylls vs. Les Stroud, and who would you rather have with you. But what if you’re out in the wild and you don’t have some super-survivalist with you? Do you have the skills to care for an injured friend? Or take care of yourself in an emergency?

The Oklahoma City Outdoor Network is offering a good learning opportunity in terms of wilderness first-aid. The following text is from Out There reader Bill Becquart. Read below, check it out, and learn some skills that may just save your or your buddies in a pinch.
