New section, medical related for outdoor travel?

Want your opinions on a section that could go under this area.
http://yotatech.com/f111/

The section could be for first aid when out camping, or on extended expeditions.
Topics could be related to first aid kits for wilderness travel, tips for treating ailments while out in the wild.

The section would no be for other ailments such as you have when at home and are near a hospital.
These tips would mainly be for parties not near a medical facility.

I know we even have a few doctors on the forum, and perhaps they would like to discuss topics in there as well that are related to outdoor travel.

Does this sound like a good addition?
Topics like this can often get buried in the Off Topic section of the forum since this is a very busy place.

Some topics like "bug repellent" that are in the "Camping, Expedition, & Overlanding Gear" section would also fall under this new category.

Suggestion for a name?
So far I have:
Quote:
Outdoor Medicine
Discussion pertaining to outdoor medicine, wilderness first aid kits, ect.
I am going on a one week trip camping up at Mt. Rainier starting in two Mondays from now, so I will have first aid kits and some meds with me, as there are no medical facilities around there for miles.

It is nice to have knowledge on this sort of stuff.

Yeah...I'd be willing to contribute, if anyone were interested in some natural remedy/first aid, as well. For example, a tsp of cayenne pepper will stop a heart attack in three minutes. There are some (other) acute cases where conventional meds are best (like rattlesnake bites....well, kerosene is a supposed to work, but enggh....take a bag of salt with that), but there's a lot of good natural first aid. I took some wilderness survival years ago and have used it here at home in the woods over the years. No doctors around for over 20 miles.
