Outdoors+topics

toc
 * These pages cover objectives relating to outdoor knowledge, skills and attitudes/behaviour (based on mountain leader (UK) training). **

They are included because clinical knowledge and skills alone are not sufficient for expedition or wilderness medics; **someone with great clinical skills is of no use in the remote environment if he/she cannot look after him/herself or find/access the casualty. **

These links go to a specific topic:
 * Group management and leadership outdoors
 * Access and the environment
 * Navigation
 * Hazards and emergency procedures
 * Equipment
 * Expedition skills (includes knots)
 * Weather

** All we can do is mind how we go on the earth and look after each other and, if we cannot turn sadness into joy, or death back into life, friendship and remembering will have to do ** John Allen ("Cairngorm John")

John Muir
 * I only went out for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in **
