That was why, along with fifteen other like-minded individuals, Nidhi signed up for the Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course, organized by Wildcraft in association with the Wilderness Medicine Institute (WMI) part of the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), USA.

At the end of the intensive course Nidhi and her course-mates felt a new surge of confidence to take on any medical challenge the outdoors might throw at them. From asphyxiation to snake bite, a broken limb to a bloody wound, they came away equipped with knowledge on exactly what to do so alleviate the situation. Nidhi decided to write about her experiences in the Deccan Herald: you can read more here.
