Hands-on learn how to save life & limb, when mired in the wilderness of an urban disaster zone, travel or rural area far from hospital, or natural area miles from an access point, during the critical minutes or hours before ambulance arrival. Come away with actual do-it-yourself care-giving skill and confidence, and 2-year SOLO certification. Counts as WFR Recertification, too. No prerequisites.

WHO: Open to the general public, adults & teens with solid attention spans. Know your loved ones are safe wherever they are.
WHY: Whether you are in a disaster zone, traveling in a remote area far from medical care, or exploring the backcountry miles from the nearest access point, emergencies can happen without warning. Accidents, severe weather, and acts of terrorism can quickly create situations where professional emergency services are delayed, unavailable, or overwhelmed. In many cases, members of a group may not have the knowledge or skills needed to respond effectively, placing both the injured person and the entire group at greater risk.
Many recreational injuries are preventable, and improper treatment of trauma can turn a minor injury into a serious medical emergency. Yet few first aid programs address the realities of providing care when 911 is unavailable, delayed, or unable to respond.
This course combines classroom instruction and interactive discussion with practical, hands-on training and problem-solving exercises. Realistic scenarios and experiential learning activities make up approximately 50% of the class, providing participants with the confidence and skills needed to manage emergencies in challenging environments.
