 SOLO was founded in the early 1970s by Dr Frank Hubbell and Lee Frizzell in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.The pair developed what would become its Wilderness First Aid course in order to better prepare rescuers to respond to medical emergencies in remote areas an hour or more from definitive medical care.The organization built a campus on Tasker Hill, just south of Conway, New Hampshire in order to have a home base from which to teach its courses.
