Thanks for the thoughts everyone. Especially around the first aid ideas. I actually run remote first aid training as part of the NGO courses I run now. Mostly because the standard FA courses you get are aimed at keeping people alive until the ambulance arrives..which isn't going to happen in many parts of the world. All those tips for life saving with what you can carry or scavenge in remote areas.
I doubt I would run more than one or two courses a year if I do organize something. Not enough of a market and I already have a great day job. Agreed, it would take lots of lead time and promoting to get a group together and would make sense to link it to another gathering.
Ideally, what I would hope for is to get some of the experienced travellers here to share their tips with the next generation just planning their first big trip. There are threads here that would help but much better, and confidence building, to have a forum to discuss and ask questions.
Thanks again...
