About this Event
Everyone thinks a medical emergency in the wild won’t happen to them. But as outdoor professionals, we can confidently assure you that given enough time in the woods, it can, and it will.
And take it from us – you’ll want to be ready for that moment. Your training is what makes the difference of how that story unfolds. This weekend course will give you the tools necessary to make sure that when that day comes, you’ll have what it takes to come through.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this course:
Basic anatomy & physiology
How to read vital signs and perform a patient assessment
Recognizing and treating shock
Dealing with muscle & bone injuries
Treating head & spinal injuries
How to treat hypothermia and heat casualties – the two biggest killers in the wild
Emergency carries & improvised litters
How to build the ideal backcountry first aid kit
And much more
And here’s what else you’ll get with the course:
Hot, home-cooked meals to keep you going throughout the course
A nationally recognized first aid certification
No prior experience is required for this class, but we recommend bringing a daypack with some basic necessities (see our FAQs for what we suggest) and comfortable shoes for hiking. As outdoor professionals, we can speak with authority that accidents and injuries really do happen in the wild. If you haven’t experienced it yet, you will. Own the skills to deal with them… so you can come through when it counts.
