Don't worry, it's fake! Training like it's real is an important part of learning how to be prepared for an emergency. Our instructors use moulage to build fake wounds so students get experience managing life-like injuries in remote environments, with limited resources.
Thanks @wildmed and @UNTRecSports for a wonderful #WFR course. Phenomenal instructors plus incredibly realistic simulations made it a great week of learning.
