If you have never hurt yourself while out camping or during survival training we give you big congratulations and pat on the back.

We, on more than one occasion, have had scrapes, scratches, and even a sprained ankle while hiking in the wilderness. However, that may have more to do with clumsiness than a natural progression of being an outdoors woman!

But the point is, it can happen to anyone and over time probably will happen at one point or another. And, if you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, possibly with a friend or family member, an injury will need to be treated on the spot!
