Fantastic online lesson format, great presentation and explanation of concepts. At times the line between the lessons and the questions wasn't always clear but it encourages students to make a leap and interpret the material rather than parrot answers. I've wanted to get the WFR for a long time but didn't think I coudl practically make it fit, and the positive experience of this class makes me reconsider. Great experience all around.

Great course!

I think this is truly a FANTASTIC course! It is taught by very experienced and skilled professionals, but I could also tell that they value and care about nature as well. I liked how they showed in many scenarios how to use high tech first aid equipment as well as common items that you would have with you to improvise and administer first aid. I think this course is A MUST for all campers, hikers, river sport enthusiasts as well as outdoor leaders and those who wish to seek further understanding of basic level wilderness survival and first aid.

The course is very educational, helpful, and necessary when going out into the wilderness. The only thing I will say is that I wish you could filter out the stuff you don't need to learn. For example, I need my WFA certification because I am taking a group of kids on a canoe trip this summer. Learning about Bears or getting lost in the wilderness is very important in that setting, but I don't feel that learning about elevation sickness is necessary in my case. Maybe in your case, you need to have this course on everything to become a certified WFA distributor, and I get that. On the other hand, if you are able to make this change, I would definitely recommend it. Thank You!

The course material was great and thorough. It would have been helpful to have a general time stamp for some of the modules. I was unsure if the course would take 1 hour or 8 hours. Some of the shorter videos with questions would glitch and skip pausing for some of the buttons. I got stuck on some modules because this technical error would prevent me from clicking to the next screen. Eventually I figured it out and was better able to use the software but it did take 20+ minutes. I thought the instructor was engaging and thorough. Lots of useful information, photos and scenarios.

I've taken WFA before several times in person, and I dreaded going back to the full two day course. This format has been great for someone who has taken the course before and needs a refresher, and who needs the flexibility of time. I also found that I'm retaining information better by covering the information is small chunks. The two day course goes by in a blur, and I've found learning the material in small 20-40 minute chunks more effective for me. The instructor was dynamic, engaging, succinct, and practical. The scenario videos with review/exam questions helped solidify knowledge learned and offered practice application. I found SOAP note practice particularly helpful in thinking through all of the information gleaned in a medical situation.

I noticed I may have assumed some facts not inevidence for the scenarios, which is my fault, but the feedback provided in the responses was informative. For example, when answering the question on rabies, I mad ethe asusmption, incorrectly ;-), that I was looking for any animal that might carry rabies, regardless of most likely, and that we would typically observe some symptoms in larger mamals, like dogs, as part of the scenario. Overall very satisfied with the course and wil probably be pursuing the WFR at a later date as this course was required for an upcoming NASAR certification.

The course videos were thorough and I enjoyed the class. My only mark against the class is that I would have liked to be able to print written material for everything. It seems like there wasn't a pdf for the common medical problems. I would have liked to print and had these on hand.

I just wanted to say that I learned a lot in this course. Some things I thought I knew the correct answer to I didn’t. I liked the self-paced approach and making the videos. The course was very comprehensive and covered more than I expected, which was great! There are a couple of questions I got wrong on the final exam, but the feedback wasn’t very clear on what the correct answer should be. Perhaps you can look at that and improve the feedback. A few of the videos had audio what was a bit compromised and harder to understand due to being recorded outdoors. I would suggest reshooting those segments either indoors or with a lavalier mic. A few typos in the written material. Might be worth reading through everything again to catch those. Overall, I enjoyed this course, learners a lot, and plan to return to various modules in the future to refresh my understanding.

This is so great! As a life long Montanan and backcountry hiker, I've always wanted to learn more safety skills. I'm not doing sustainability nature retreats for change~makers and this is a great way to get started on better safety in the wilderness. It inspires me to take in person courses sooner than later too :)

Also having tags that can be added to a backpack with MARCH, SAMPLE and SOAP listed for reference would be helpful. Also forms that could be printed and taken just in case of dealing with an injury and need to write it down.

I really like the style of the training with narrated slideshows, scenario-based training exercises, and frequent quizzing. I felt this style was very effective for my style of learning.

This course was more informative and learning than the other 5 times I took the WFA from 3 other organizations. Great skill sets that really improved my ability to handle situations. Watching the first aid kit video was constructive too. My only comment would be to have a field injury/report with pen and sharpie in EVERY first aid kit. Getting accurate information and organization at the site could prove invaluable. Also go through your first aid kit yearly to change and replenish supplies. Thanks again, Chris

I have wanted to certify in WFA for maybe a decade, but I just never got around to it, mainly due to the $400+ cost of the live, in-person course I was familiar with. I recently researched other options and found this greatly discounted course covering the same material. Despite maintaining CPR/AED/BFA certifications for over 15 years, I learned a lot of additional material from this course not taught in the basic first aid courses I've taken. I was surprised I had never heard of MARCH or SOAP before in my first aid certification classes. I have worked with a number of outdoor-oriented youth organizations over the years, so I am thankful to have this additional training in my toolkit. Thank you for providing this course material at a greatly discounted rate compared to similar hands-on courses. While hands-on is probably better, I did receive some great training, and I will be able to review the videos at my leisure to brush up on my knowledge.

Having taken the WFA course as a two days, back to back, training, I was uncertain about the efficacy of an online version. While I could pick nits about this Survival Med version, I believe I got at least as much out of this online training as I did from the in person training several years ago....and the in person instructors were excellent. The reason is that the in person training has you drink from the prevertebral fire house while mostly in a classroom setting (not my preferred learning style), so that after some number of hours the eyes start to glaze over. Also, with the in person training we did splints and exercises in small groups, not individually. With the Survival Med online training, you can consume each subject in easily digestible chunks, pause and discuss with a partner, or look things up, over a period of several days, letting things sink in. The exercises you all do yourself, no=t a small group, so, for example, since you video the examinations you may do it a few times for practice to make sure you can get it mostly right. So, my bottom line is that each approach, online or in person, has it's own strengths, and I'd assert that if you have done in person once, doing the next one online with Survival Med may well be more effective than doing the in person one again. Finally, it seems like a good value...lots of information and feedback for a reasonable price.

I took this course after the in-person class I normally take every few years changed locations. My assumption was that the hands-on portion of that class would be better. It turned out that both the overall content and most of the hands-on were better in this course. Most of the content of this course was more up-to-date and accurate as the primary instructor is an emergency room doctor who is staying current in the field. The practical exercises, which are graded, replicate the experience of the hands-on class very well. Several of the exercises were much better than those I've experienced before, particularly the patient assessment. Congratulations to the staff for an excellent and valuable class.

VERY useful information! As a fairly new resident of Arizona and a new member of our local SAR posse, it was good to have more information on regional hazards. Animal and plant hazards, for instance, are not typically discussed within the context of our numerous trainings and as a SAR K9 handler, I was glad to have more (and the most current) information on things to watch for when out with our pups. (We frequently work in creosote groves as they are difficult areas for dogs to source odor/subjects in - the bushes trap odor within their fairly low, spread-out foliage. Will be very careful to avoid these areas once it warms up and the Mohave Greens come out!!!)

Animal and plant hazards, for instance, are not typically discussed within the context of our numerous trainings and as a SAR K9 handler, I was glad to have more (and the most current) information on things to watch for when out with our pups. (We frequently work in creosote groves as they are difficult areas for dogs to source odor/subjects in - the bushes trap odor within their fairly low, spread-out foliage. Will be very careful to avoid these areas once it warms up and the Mohave Greens come out!!!)

This is a very informative section and I'm glad I took it, as this is the area I mostly operate in. I wish there was more info regarding options for out of service areas (satellite phones, Garmin products, etc) that folks use and their "SOS" button capabilities, as well as tracking; hikes, rivers, etc.

I haven't been to Big Bend since 2010, and I have wondered about safety in the park in regards to illegal border crossings.

I've enjoyed the WFA training so much, I just purchased the WFR training to continue on with more information. There are so many alternate tools and they really do a great job of ensuring you're doing this correctly, even if it means referring back to your notes. It's about muscle memory in intense field situations and this course leans into getting it right rather than endless quizzes. Practice of practical information makes perfect. If you are attentive and motivated, this course should be a breeze. I also encouraged my husband and son to complete their training for the purpose of having valuable practical knowledge on first aid and triage. I learned so many new things and some of my military first aid training translated. Any questions I asked were promptly answered and the grading timeframe is accurate. I also appreciate this can be done virtually because of my current schedule. I was nervous being a back country facilitator without this certification. I feel better about a variety of scenarios now. I'm hoping WFR will deepen that as well.

I found this regional specific training to be very useful and enjoyable to learn more about. Learning about area specific dangers and risks is just as important as learning general safety practices. Part of my work involves taking groups into nature for hiking, camping, and all sorts of adventures and a lot of them in the ADK. I love that I now have a gained knowledge and higher level of preparedness from all I have learned through this course to act in emergency situations, be more proactive in prevention, and increase safety of ROCovery Fitness members! Thank you!

This course will help us to be better prepared for these trips and keep people safe!

I found this course to be incredibly valuable! I just started going backpacking this year and often go with my youngest son (he is 7). My husband and my in-laws often worry about us being in the wilderness by ourselves. I took this course because I wanted to be prepared so they would worry less and so I would feel confident in my ability to handle whatever situation we may find ourselves in. This course was thorough and I especially loved that it included components where I would need to practice the skills I may end up using. I also really liked that it included specific tips on regional wildlife and weather--things my family worries about the most! Thank you for putting this course together!

I am a First Aid and CPR instructor and learned a lot of valuable skills to use. In the Dominican Republic, 911 is not as reliable on skills and tools as in other countries, so these techniques will really benefit us in complicated situations. I am looking forward to practicing my skills with my family out in the wilderness and teaching these skills to my son.

Firs of all, thanks a lot for creating and providing such an amazing and detailed course about such an important topic. Overall, I really loved this course as it pays attention to many details in different situations that makes you way more confident by the time you have to face any of them. That being said, this type of course should be a requirement for many different fields and jobs as there are risks everywhere in our daily lives and sometimes casualties happened for not knowing the correct procedures and how to act properly. Many of the cases presented on this course are about situations that happens in the Southern U.S. wilderness. However, many of these cases applies to the Caribbean region where I live as open water activities are big part of the livelihoods of the locals specially through tourism. Therefore, to make our places safer, this course represents a key element in preserving the lives of our locals and visitors. In the last few years, many entities and individuals in my hometown Cabarete on North Coast of the Dominican Republic, have been showing lots of interest in improving the skills of the locals that depend on water sports such as surfing, kite boarding, SUP, and many more, to provide a safer environment to the people that visit us. This includes first aid trainings, rescue training, ISA surf instructor courses and IKO certifications. So, this course has come to me in the perfect time to expand my knowledge about first aid and hoping to share some of this knowledge with my friends and colleagues here.

As an avid solo hiker and lover of the outdoors, as well as a host to a local hiking group, I felt it was important to become educated in Wilderness First Aid. At first, I thought this course would provide me with knowledge and skills to assess and handle situations for myself and others, but it gave me so much more. I learned so much about occurrences and situations that I otherwise might never have considered until it was too late. I will feel so much more confident outdoors on my own and leading my hiking group. I'm excited to continue taking courses with Survival Med and expanding my education. Taking this course has even made me start thinking about pursuing a career in the outdoors and made me realize that it is not only something I could do, but I would love doing!

Incredible class! It is ten times more informative than our local offerings. Your knowledge is formidable. Your ability to continually expand and add new material is awe-inspiring, as well as the infusion of all of the quizzes, knowledge questions, videos, photos, scenarios and more. I'm so completely thrilled to have had this training. Thank you!

This was a very thorough class. I’ve had in person first aid several times and this has a lot more information. Lots of additional information if you desire and ability to review information in scheduled webinars. I especially like the aspect of improvising materials for splints, etc as this is probably what you’re going to have to do in the backcountry. You won’t always have everything you need.

I appreciate the thorough delivery of information and the allowance of the student to take portions of the class at different times when it is convenient. I would appreciate more inquiry-based learning during the class where the instructor asks a series of questions with clever and memorable hints that lead the student to the correct answer. Humor and mnemonic devices may be helpful. The long periods of monologue do not hold the student's attention.

This was my first online wilderness first aid course, and it was terrific! I really enjoyed the combination of media and engagement: being able to read and take notes, having some downloadable references, videos, pop quizzes, and the hands on practical experiences. I liked that you could engage in the material over time, which led me to reflect and share what I learned during my outside experiences while having the chance to come back to the material to learn more. I think this learn-apply-learn-apply approach really augmented my ability to make the information meaningful and memorable. I loved the additional podcasts, which I added to my road trips, reinforcing the content of my main course. And, it goes almost without saying, this course was accessible in terms of cost and scheduling. I really appreciated all of these elements.

The sequencing is a little off when comparing video to layout of information in the course. Overall, really fantastic information. I purchased several first aid items in response to watching this video and will now be hiking with an emergency blanket and single wrapped benedryl, as well as a can of bear spray. A sam splint will be living in my car. Thank you for a really helpful course. I can't wait to take the regional supplement!

Natalie is very knowledgeable about a number of wilderness incidents and describes real-life scenarios in Utah and across the United States. This course is a great, affordable way to better protect yourself while hiking, biking, or backpacking and the instructors incorporate great real-life examples and stories. There is also area-specific information. I wish there were slightly more information about specific scenarios, i.e. if more than one thing were wrong at a time in the Practical Section. Overall this course was very thorough for a WFA certification and I feel it was better than some in-person courses. I only wish I had taken it sooner in college!

As a newbie hiker with no medical background, I enjoyed this course and found it was easy to understand and follow along with. The practical skill exercises were helpful to see and practice at home. The material provided was a great foundation that I hope to build upon.

I highly recommend anyone who enjoys being outdoors to take this course. You truly never know when you'll need this information.

This has been an extremely rewarding class. I have learned more in this course than I have in previous WFA courses run by the Red Cross. What made this better for me is the ability to review the material until I could learn it. Having to do the hands-on Assessment recordings and skills photographs really ingrained a muscle/mental memory that cannot be duplicated in an in-person class. There is not enough time during the in-person classes for everyone to have the hands-on experience. The Webinar Challenges were a great plus to make me think about the situations. Thank you so much for making this course available to me.

Had some technical glitches that became frustrating, but was able to get through it all. Suggest including a transcript of the videos and/or provide all content in a downloadable format, rather than just portions of it to make the course more accessible and to accommodate different learning styles. Also, there were a couple places where it seemed like contradictory information was provided (video said one thing; printed material another). But overall, it was a great course and very informational.

The creators of the regional program did a great job covering the dangers of the Northeast. I wonder why the White Mountains were not emphasized more, but the Adirondacks (Ad-er-on-dacks) were, and they are somewhat comparable. I picked up several things I did not know, even as a life-long New Englander.

Great overview, I'm familiar with all the states, and thought I was completely up to speed but definitely learned a bunch of new things. Thank you for broadening my perspective. I've had mountain goats unabashedly come right in front of me while doing #1 in the Enchantments in WA state! They weren't aggressive but it's good to know they can be. Suggest adding a section on how varied the climates can be within even one state in the Pacific / west coast area. Friends I've backpacked with have learned the hard way that it on the one hand it can be non-stop rain in the coastal ranges - meaning hypothermia is a huge risk, but then only 2-3 hours away on the east slope of the mountains, in the "high desert" climate in WA and OR and CA, the more extreme temperatures in both directions, and arid climate are the primary concerns. Not to mention the flora and fauna completely change when one moves from west slope to east slope, so the varieties of poisonous plants and dangerous animals and snakes/reptiles change as well. What you pack, what you need to know, and how you respond can change dramatically if one just travels a couple hours west vs. east from Seattle, for example, or Portland, or Sacramento. Thanks for a great course! Mark V

I thought the course was pretty good for the basics. I travel and hike all over the Eastern area and I found the animals mentioned and how to treat them very relevant. I often find snakes, coyotes, and bears. I found this helpful to mention. I also spend a ton of time on the South Carolina coast where the riptide information is very relevant and useful. Overall, I would recommend this for basic safety while engaging in outdoor activities. It does not cover all aspects, but it gives a strong starting point!

Your course is well done, clear and more thorough than my prior experiences. I am still in the middle of the course but so far it is excellent. I have two recommendations: I spend time in the Adirondacks each year. Add thunderstorms to the risk list. And, your pronunciation of Adirondack needs a bit of work. :-) In all, excellent course.

I needed to take the course for K9 Search & Rescue...this is one course that I am actually glad that was on the list. I liked that the videos were full of information and not "fluff". I will recommend this course to anyone, not just organizational reasons. It is something that anyone that spends any amount of time outdoors or hiking should take. I actually wish I knew/thought to take it before I started hiking.

As an Appalachian Trail thru-hiker and someone who is constantly outdoors, this course was super helpful. I often take friends and family on backpacking trips with me, and I wanted to be more equipped for emergencies on trail. I feel better having others along with me!

Great for a virtual training course! I like the flexibility the prerecording gives and can rewatch many of the section as many times as we need. There is a lack of communication through the help tool when there are questions about the material and technical problems. I was able to complete the course regardless. I feel better prepared to be out in the wilderness.

I took an in-person wilderness first aid course more than several years ago, prior to becoming a wilderness guide in New Mexico. About a year ago, I decided to jump on board a seasonal guiding program and wanted to be prepared just in case someone really needed help. This class was nice because I could take it at my own pace and I didn't feel pressured. The content was great and the teacher was knowledgable. I would consider signing up for the WFR course next.

I will definitely be back to do my WFR and possibly even be able to do the W-EMT upgrade. A very good blend of both skills videos and text usage. Would recommend having your course programers enable this program to allow students to interactively respond to Dr Bonthius's questions during the video lectures. I have a great niece starting her university EMT, EMT-P studies in the fall in Trinidad, CO. I am going to definitely introduce her as well as my daughter and son to your training site. Thanks for the training.

Overall a good basic first aid training, with some relevant content for outdoor-specific first aid. However, I found a surprising amount of content that isn't relevant for wilderness, such as calling 911 (often don't have service in the wilderness throughout the mountain west), road/vehicle-related content, and the really weird slide about drinking pasteurized milk and not handling newborn livestock (there are no petting zoos in the wilderness!). Some feedback about the e-course: 1) I recommend using different scenarios rather than repeating the same ones (example: the live session talked about controlling bleeding on an arm and twist-wrapping to stop bleeding. The practical skills session had the same situation, perhaps show this same skill on a different body part?). and 2) the video quality, especially audio, was poor.

I think MARCH will forever be embedded in my brain. My first aid pack has been refreshed and I'm ready to hit the single tracks with this knowledge. I particularly enjoyed the altitude sickness section - an area I knew nothing about. Great stuff and I'm going to pass this class along to my mtb team.

I learned a lot in this course, and felt it was valuable. I am retired and am very active outdoors, and feel more confident in handling emergency situations should they arise. Thank you. I am a retired teacher, and the only feedback I would offer is that instructors review and comment on the first few assignments earlier, so I know I am on the right track as I complete the rest of them.

This was a great course, I learned a lot over the course as well. Even when I discussed info with my husband, who is a doctor, there were things that he learned as well. The cases were challenging, and the active videos were very challenging for me since my husband is 6’5 and over 200 pounds. He definitely didn’t help, so moving him and rolling him was hard but I found good techniques. Some of the questions were tough because of the multiple selections, I think those were the hardest ones when they were all examples/multiple answers. It was a greater challenge than imagined, I thought I was ready for the test, but then I had to retake it. I think that was the best lesson overall.

I am a combat veteran and military retiree. When I was in the military I performed many of these skills not just for training but in actual practice, I learned then what it meant to be without help and what it feels like to have to sit on a patient for upwards of 72 hours until transport is available. This is where I became fascinated with wilderness medicine. I took this course as ABSN RN student so I could teach my peers about a passion of mine which is wilderness medicine.

This course was very well done from the downloadable text book, the written content, to the video vignettes . You do not need any medical experience to take and enjoy these courses.I happened to have spent my career in trauma and emergency services and now as a trauma program consultant. I learned a lot I didn't know when it comes to wilderness medicine. I am an outdoor photographer and avid outdoorsman. I spend my free time in the mountains and backcountry, fly fishing, camping, kayaking, hiking, snowshoeing.... In the Emergency Department we have a controlled environment and supplies on hand. In the field- mountains, back country or wherever you find yourself outdoors, you are at the mercy of what is on hand and your experience. This course will give you the experience and skills you need to be prepared and have the best outcomes possible. It's extremely affordable, well written and well done. I am going to enroll in some of the other courses Survival Med offers after this experience.

The only piece of constructive criticism I have is that the website sometimes did not always work when uploading or removing assignments - I had a few issues there with my final submission (note that Spear-spine.mp4 for Part 5 was uploaded under Part 6 due to an assignment upload issue in Part 5).

Hello from Southern Utah, Northern Arizona, Found this course conversant and comprehensive. For an online course, for me, a refreshing ease to navigate. Liked that the questions had, well worded, seemingly plausible, scenarios.... But that's Life, full of choices..... with very different outcomes. Made me feel....made me think (Jethro T is smiling) With this type of knowledge, in this well executed format and it's availability anywhere, is kinda what the potential of the internet was supposed to be about. I digress. For me, it means allows me the training and certs, and not need to drive 6 hour, each away, and two nights in a hotel. The 'At one's own pace' feature, allows me to run my small business while taking this course. I own a Hiking Guide service and I will be requiring these courses to our Guides as a refresher and I'll be taking more courses. I've met with virtually all of the insects that were presented in this course. In the Southwest U.S. Topics, might think about adding the Harvester ant (poponomyrex maricopa).... Most everyone that has spent a modicum of time in the SW Deserts has had a few run ins. "Harvester ants have the most potent venom of any genus of insects on the planet....20x more than a honey bee, 35x more than Western Diamondback. I've seen a a lot of pain to serious reaction from one sting, to a copter evac with 5 stings. Tarantula Hawks? Pretty rare occurrence. Have met 3 people in 60+ years Good Journeys, Yermo

This class/series is a fabulous service. I've loved it. I've listened to all the podcasts, yes all of them. Great material. My next step will be to take the Wilderness First Responder and the Basic Wilderness Survival. The videos and practical skills were spot on. I've now assembled a very comprehensive first aid kit (did you know that FSA funds can be used for this?), and am now building smaller, day-pack sized kits. This course hits home. Last summer our 12 year old daughter Mary was involved in an ATV accident in Idaho. Not necessarily "backcountry", but I quickly realized that my first aid supplies and currency were lacking. No more. Additionally, in years past we've taken the entire family into the Yellowstone backcountry, and knowing what I know now makes me realize how woefully unprepared we were then. Thanks for doing this. I hope it is a viable business model, and this fills a need in the market. I had looked at taking an EMT course at the local tech college. Costs aside ($2K+), the rigid schedule made it unrealistic. Your course nails the highest priority issues, and the time flexibility makes it possible to complete.

Last summer our 12 year old daughter Mary was involved in an ATV accident in Idaho. Not necessarily "backcountry", but I quickly realized that my first aid supplies and currency were lacking. No more. Additionally, in years past we've taken the entire family into the Yellowstone backcountry, and knowing what I know now makes me realize how woefully unprepared we were then. Thanks for doing this. I hope it is a viable business model, and this fills a need in the market. I had looked at taking an EMT course at the local tech college. Costs aside ($2K+), the rigid schedule made it unrealistic. Your course nails the highest priority issues, and the time flexibility makes it possible to complete.

The class went really well. All of the participants in the videos are incredibly knowledgeable and I learned a lot of information. One of my favorite parts of the course included the debunking of wilderness myths such as sucking venom out of a wound or that alcohol is more potent at higher altitudes or that there is less oxygen at higher altitudes. I feel more prepared to help those who have been injured in the wilderness and also how to simply be safe in a variety of scenarios. Much gratitude for all the great information and the accessibility of it, as well!

How to improvise splints, wraps, etc. from objects or gear was also very important to me as even with the best intentions, we may not have a full kit available or accessible.

Wow! There is a LOT of great information in this course, perfect for just regular folks enjoying the outdoors! I took a LOT of notes, which I strongly recommend. I especially liked the section on animal behavior -- what to do when, depending on what type of animal was involved. I would have liked a little more information on alligators, since we see them a lot down here in the South -- as a kayaker I tend to come across them perhaps more than most people. I hope I never have to use any of this information, but I feel much better prepared now, just in case I do have to. The access to additional educational resources after completing the course was a huge factor for me signing up, as was the low price. I'm so glad I took the time to do this.

I needed this ASAP to start my job in BIG BEND. I actually need the WAFA but my employer said the WFA was be sufficient for now as long as I completed the WAFA or the First Responder? The class was easy to follow, The video instructions were very helpful. I would take the 16 Hour Credit decided to wait since I have to take the First Responder. I am on a budget as well so the cost was an issues to start. The 149 is a great deal for the First Responder. I will be back and signup for the First Responder soon.

This was awesome; I have previously taken another course, however it was ONLY a 2 hour zoom session, with no additional resources, no videos you could replay as needed, or as in depth as these were in different topics that are important. I'm so happy I decided to re-take the WFA with them - I feel much more confident on my knowledge and skills now. Definitely would recommend! Thinking about taking the WFR course as well in the future!

As someone with a Wilderness First Aid certification/recert for the past 10 years using NOLS and or SOLO, I enjoyed this course for a few reasons. First, as a refresher. All trainings are important but even if you don't use much of the training over the course of your few-year certification, it easy to feel a bit hazy on proper techniques if you do not practice or refresh yourself, so I enjoyed Survivalmed course for that reason. I also enjoyed the video learning at my own pace, taking breaks as needed to focus on my notes or even personal breaks and taking the course on my time. Areas for improvement I'd like to see are refreshers in taking vitals and SAMPLE notes as I find these sometimes even more important in wilderness experiences trying to collect further information about your patient and their symptoms and plan of action.

I've been WFA certified since 2016. I think this course is a great alternative to an in person course, if you have done the in person course before. It can be helpful to have that supervised hands on experience prior to taking a virtual course. The other thing that I would like to see more from this class are additional tips and tricks. At the in person courses I have attended, instructors have provided extra tips on first aid care and survival based on their experiences, where relevant. Otherwise, this is a great course!

Very clear and straightforward. Every bit of information was necessary and not just filler or fluff. Anything repeated later in other modules was reformatted appropriately to ensure retention. Videos were helpful on top of real life scenarios. I also like have the region specific options. The instructors were knowledgeable without having to use specialized language which makes it accessible across the board to different learning styles.

Excellent class, very informative. I'm so glad that this information is available with certification online. In person courses can quickly run into a large cost and can be time consuming/difficult to schedule. My only true feedback for improvement is to provide slightly better instructions for the steps. I want to continue to obtain the Associate of Wilderness Medicine credential and I'm still not sure how to go about getting access to those exams. Otherwise, I took my original certification earlier in the year, got locked out of the podcasts/course due to a system issue, and survivalmed re-opened the entire course to me as well as providing a copy of my initial certificate. As such, I decided to go even further and obtain the 16-hour credential despite not needing it, and hope to continue my education. Thanks for making this possible!

I especially liked the units on how to deal with animal encounters in the wild, sometimes it's easy to freeze up when you encounter a potentially dangerous animal you weren't expecting.

Good value for the money and not overly difficult to understand and remember. I took Basic Wilderness Survival first and then Wilderness First Aid second. There is some repetition between the two. However, the reinforcement and review was good, with a deeper level of instruction in Wilderness First Aid. I recommend spending multiple hours reading the pdf that is at the start of Basic Wilderness Survival. After reading and reviewing it, the rest of both courses was fairly easy. The topics covered are very valuable for increasing awareness and capability for anyone who spends time in national or state parks. I am now better prepared to stay safe and help others.

"A very good course! A couple of nit-picks, though. The section on finding water in the desert suggested digging a series of 1'x1' holes in dry washes to look for underground water. In all likelihood, you will lose more water from the exertion and sweat of this activity than you will recover. I suggest de-emphasizing this. Also, there were numerous references to calling for aid with a mobile phone. While phones can indeed be a lifesaver, it should be repeatedly stressed that in many, many parts of the West, there is no phone service. I have encountered many people who are relying on their phones for rescue when there is simply no service. Other that that, it's a great course."

I've been in the military for 30 years, so I didn't think there was much I would get out of a class like this. My wife made me sit and watch with her. I have to say, I was pretty humbled. I got most of the scenarios wrong. She thought it was funny. Thank you for making such an affordable option for this.

I really, really loved this course. I watched both the Arizona and California recordings. I'm amazed at how much was packed in there in just 2.5 hours. I have to say- I've taken several wilderness and first aid courses in the past and I truly think I got the most value out of this one. Will there be a Montana version soon?

This was a great investment. I used to teach similar wilderness first aid courses back in the early 2000s, and man do I wish Zoom could have been an option back then. It was a great balance of the scenarios, hands-on skills, improvising with your gear, and recognizing when things need to be evacuated. The podcasts added a lot too.

Dr. Bonthius covers a great deal of scenarios very, very effectively and thoroughly. I reside in Las Vegas, NV and Wilderness courses here are offered only during the Spring and late Fall. I was about to travel out of state, pay room and board as well as pay close to 10 times the amount of this course. This is truly a time saver and money saver. I would HIGHLY recommend this!!! If you're having second thoughts about this course, don't - this is the best decision you'll ever make for a course for Wilderness First Aid Training.

I took WFR online and really enjoyed it. I wasn't sure how the online format would work, but I thought it was very well put together and taught clearly. It was extensive, and I learned a ton. I also felt like they did a good job of emphasizing the most important points that are possible to remember long-term. The scenarios were also great and solidified my understanding of the topics. In hindsight I wish there would have been a few more scenarios maybe, but overall I thought this was a fantastic class and would recommend it to anyone.

Thanks for a great class! I liked being able to do it on my own time in the evenings. I have two newborns at home, so getting to an in-person WFR class was just not an option. Plus the added expense of travel and time off work- I really liked being able to do it this way instead. The lectures were very thorough and yet easy to understand even without much medical background. My only suggestion is to add a live feedback mechanism so that we can know if we're on track with the SOAP notes. But other than that it was very good.

"I really appreciated the course. I work full-time in Indiana and also guide in Grand Canyon seasonally for an REI-contract company (backcountry trips north & south rims), so WFR was an imperative for me! Being able to navigate the course without missing work (& the cost of travel to get to a course) was terrific. But, primarily, the course materials are very well done and I liked the added podcasts and video demos. (There was one podcast that said “unavailable”- I’ll try to find that for reference.) But, I was able to go back and rewatch several chapters (almost all of them actually) and that, plus the study guide, reinforced the learning in a way that live lectures crammed into a single week could not do. I am very pleased and am more than happy for you to use my submissions if it helps in your work. Thank you, again, for the obvious hard work it took to put this all together and offer it us in such a useful manner. (Frankly, I think you are undercharging for the value added/benefit of this course!)."

I loved that I could do this at my own pace. Originally I planned to just pound it out and then life got in the way. If it would have been in a traditional classroom setting I might have needed to bail. The videos are great and the information is short, sweet and to the point which is how I like my information most of the time. I would recommend improving the videos Matt is in though. He lacks energy and sometimes it feels like he is rushing through things. His videos do the job though. The responses to email, questions and final submittal were fast and efficient. I loved that there were requires videos and pictures to take as well. No just sitting behind a computer monitor. Thanks for everything!

I did the WEMT upgrade and thought the course was phenomenal! It's put together well and Natalie responds to your questions in a very timely manner! I would recommend this course to anyone interested in obtaining a Wilderness First Responder certification! I'm going to require all my survival school instructors to go through this course! Thanks for a great way to learn online!

It was SO nice to be able to self pace with this course. It was so much more affordable than conventional WFR courses, and I found myself getting more creative with the practical skills as I was doing it at home!

Survival Medicine allowed me to get my WFR certification at my own pace, and for much cheaper than an in-person course. This was my second time being certified, and I found that if I followed along with the study guide I was able to learn just as much as I did in person. Thanks!

Well organized lectures together with extra resources for enhanced learning of the material. Overall a thorough course, at my own pace when I have the opportunity. Fit very well with my needs.

I am super glad I took this WFR course with Survival Med online. I will be a wilderness backpacking and fly fishing guide this summer in Rocky Mountain National Park, and needed to get either a WFA or WFR certification. This online course was super informative, easy to complete, and relatively fast, not to mention the amount of money I saved over doing an in person WFR course. I would absolutely recommend this to just about anyone who spends a lot of time in the outdoors, and the survival med online version has a ton of benefits.

"As a long time professor I have listened to lots of lectures. I really enjoyed your presentation style Natalie- it is calm but engaging (which is hard to do), focused and informative with good timing and no overreliance on media. I am recommending this course to colleagues. Thanks again, Paul B."

This is a great course and a nice option for the busy professional, parent, etc. I am a high school teacher, a father of two, and run a youth rock climbing program, so being able to get the WFR information and certification without leaving my work or family for a long weekend was a great option. The lectures are in-line with the study guide and easy to follow while being engaging. The video demonstrations were very helpful and it was fun to practice those skills for the submissions. I encourage anyone who spends time in the outdoors to take this affordable program.

This course was exactly what I was looking for. The capability of conducting this training remote was as effective as in person, when you are being evaluated skills performance recordings, written exams, scenario based testing it prepares you to succeed. I will continue training with the skills learned, and the best part is I have access to the materials to refresh and practice/review as often as I need. Let alone the time I was able to take and go at my own pace to absorb the materials. Thank you SurvivalMed!!!!

Hey! Finally got my Wilderness First Aid: Arizona certificate from passing my class! It was fun and such good knowledge. Whether you are an occasional day hiker or winter visitor to Arizona (90% of Search & Rescue saves of folks in the AZ outdoors are folks out for a casual day hike/kayak just out for the day and many of which aren't from AZ, but there are lots of local rescues too) or you are an avid outdoorsperson, this is a great class.

I took the Basic Wilderness Survival course and absolutely loved it. I learned so much and I loved that it was completely self-paced. I’ve watched it three times. I would recommend it to anyone. It’s fantastic whether you have a lot of experience in the backcountry, or if you’re just getting started.

I’ve had my EMT license for 10 years and I’ve always been interested in wilderness medicine. I decided to take the virtual Wilderness First Responder course so I could get the Wilderness EMT certification. I am so glad I did it through Survival Med. The virtual option was great because I could do it in the evenings, on my own time. I could review the material as much as I wanted and spend my time on the topics that were most interesting to me, like altitude illness and hypothermia. Their method of teaching and testing the practical skills is so creative and convenient. I saved almost 1.5K by taking this online. I cannot thank you guys enough.

I am so glad my son and I took this class. He and his buddies are at an age where they like to explore on their bikes in the backcountry. Many places have a minimum age, so I am glad for his class through you there is none. I feel better about him going out with friends and am hoping his friends get their Wilderness First Aid as well.

As an EMT and Search and Rescue Member, I wasn’t sure how useful the Basic Wilderness Survival class would be, especially online. But I was humbled. I learned so much practical information in just a few hours and realized there are many areas that I was weak in. The interactive scenarios were incredible and I felt like I was right there. I cannot recommend this course enough to anyone who spends time in the outdoors.

Last week, I was on a hike with my five-year-old cousin when he was stung by a bee and had an anaphylactic reaction. I am so glad I took your WFA course. I was able to help him take both doses of his epi pen, something I learned from you guys. I just wanted to write to you guys and let you know that you helped me save his life. Thank you for everything you’re doing.
