Staging simulated accidents.
Realistic simulated accidents are essential for wilderness emergency care training. Staging them requires good scene setting, acting, evaluation, and makeup. Training your students in moulage will not only help you stage simulated accidents for the class, it will also give the students valuable insights into emergency care by playing the roles of victims. Equipment can be cheap and simple, or more elaborate. With good scripts and good coaching of the victims, you can use moulage to help your students put all their skills together, bringing them as close as possible to the experience of a real wilderness emergency.
