About This Course:

Have you ever considered what you would do in the event of a medical emergency when there isn’t EMS available, or perhaps the hospitals are either full or not taking patients (we have seen this nearly happen with COVID).  What would you do if you were in a remote area and medical support was severely delayed?  What if your family member’s life was totally up to the skills you have and the equipment you possess?  What should you do if all else fails and you now have a dead body to care for?  This 2 day course will help you learn the skills, understand the equipment, and then practice those skills.

This is far different than a “Wilderness EMR” type course.  This course will go deeply into the medical side of things not typically seen in a typical WFA type training.

• ·         How to handle the top ten causes of death in this country if there is no medicine available

• ·         How can you improvise resources from what is around you to treat medical conditions
