You will be tramping in summer but conditions in the Kaimai Mamaku Forest Park can be extremely unforgiving and the weather unpredictable. In your group of 3 you must plan you tramp under these heading:**WHAT WE WILL PACK (List your personal requirements but also the requirements of your groups which will be split across your group)****INTENTIONS SHEET (Fill this out)****BASIC FIRST AID KNOWLEDGE WE REQUIRE (What is Hypothermia? How do we treat it? Sprains and Broken Bones, Bleeding)** **Hypothermia:** **What is** Hypothermia: **Hypothermia is a reaction in the body when your body heat goes below normal.** Hypothermia

Hypothermia is a change in the body temperature, when the body can not produce enough heat for the body. How do you treat hypothermia? Remove the wet clothing- leave the dry clothes Wrap the victim in blankets. Warm ones. Chemical heat packs can be used on the victims groin, neck and arm pits. Victims that are abel to follow instructions get them to sit up right and drink some warm non-alcoholic beverages. How to treat broken and broken bones.

Do straighten, See if its deformed, keep in the position found. Stabilize the bone, Use padding to cep not moving. Put ice on the injury. Never put the ice right next to the skin. Put it in a bag first. After holding the ice on the injury for a bout 20 minutes, Take it off for 20 minutes. Anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen or naproxen will help with pain. Elevate the bone to reduce swelling. If 111 was not called, seek medical assistance for additional pain relief and further evaluation of the injury. The use of an ambulance is probably not necessary, but ambulances in many areas are capable of providing additional pain relief. How to treat a sprained bone?


 * If the injury involves your child's neck or back, do not move him unless the child is in imminent danger. Movement can cause serious nerve damage. Phone for emergency medical help. If your child must be moved, the neck and back must be completely immobilized first. Keeping the head, neck, and back in alignment, move your child as a unit.
 * It may be difficult to tell the difference between a sprain and a break. If there is any doubt whatsoever, phone your doctor or take your child to the nearest hospital emergency department. An X-ray can determine whether a bone is broken.
 * first aid for sprains and strains includes rest, ice, compression, and elevation (known as RICE).
 * Rest the injured part of the body.
 * Apply ** ice ** packs or cold compresses for up to 10 or 15 minutes at a time every few hours for the first 2 days to prevent swelling.
 * Wearing an elastic compression bandage (such as an ACE bandage) for at least 2 days will reduce swelling.
 * Keep the injured part elevated above the level of the heart as much as possible to reduce swelling.
