Outdoor First Aid – Student Gear List
This course will run regardless of the weather, so be prepared for the possibility of
cold/wet weather and extended periods outside! Pack like you did for PHSE104 Camp – no
cotton, lots of layers, and water/windproof shell layers for top and bottom. Typically there
is a night-time scenario on this course (regardless of weather).
