It was an excellent class and I've recommended it to other members of my upcoming multi-day bike trip and also to family members. While most everyone venturing outside has taken a first aid/CPR class in the past, it's important to take again because best practices continue to change.

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 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.

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.

Very informative course material. A lot of things were covered in this course that I have heard over the years but are incorrect or no longer valid. This course gave me the confidence I need to feel more comfortable assisting emergency situations in the wilderness.

Dara Dawson
Great course with lots of visuals and real life examples that assure that what is being taught is very applicable in the wilderness. The team that put this together have vast experience which makes a huge difference. It's great to have the support podcasts, book and videos to continue to review even after completing the course. I would love to see refresher courses for the advanced wilderness so we coudl keep our skills fresh. I would highly recomment Survivalmed!

This class was incredibly informative and relevant for any person who spends time outdoors. As a nurse, I had the basic knowledge of first aid and CPR but the specific scenarios for the wilderness were SO helpful. I learned a ton and feel much more prepared when I am on long hikes.

Gary Howard
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.

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 extremely helpful for me! Not only learning basic wilderness first aid, but the supplemental podcasts, resources, and the ability to do them on my own time was wildly beneficial for someone like myself. I am actively studying for the MCAT, working, and married... So time is of the essence. Being able to learn the necessary information to be effective in the field, while doing it on my own time and it being extremely affordable was an all around win. Bravo Survival Med!

Interesting class. I like the short podcasts as well as the instructional videos. Completing the tasks required for the 16-hour designation were helpful for understanding how to perform them. Thinking you know how to do something and actually doing it can be a world of difference.

Fanastic. Being able to take the course as time allows was a huge asset. Survival Med was also very responsive to questions, computer issues, etc. throughout. I would definitely recommend them to others, and already plan to utilize them for when my 3 year renewal is due.

great comprehensive info. Realistic situations for the region I live in, practical advice and guidance, enjoyed the improvised practical skills using items you would find or may have with you. Answered many questions I had about being safe in the wilderness as well as some I never thought about before.

Although I still have to finish the image submissions for the 16-hour credit, I learned so much information from this course. I am so thankful that The Survival Med Team took the time to meet with my peers and me personally over zoom, and provided all of these lessons in an interesting manner. This is most definitely one of the most important courses I have ever taken, thank you!!

Renee S.
Name: Renee Spear Feedback: AMAZING course - absolutely loved all the content, assignments, and that I had access to this course for 90 days. I loved reviewing the videos multiple times as I learned and retained more each time I watched them. I also love that this course came with graded practical skills since it is not an in-person course. Finally, thank you for making this course financially available! 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).

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.

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.

I'm a SAR leader in California, and really appreciated this option for my team. It was very convenient for them. We had about 12 members who needed to enroll in WFR for SARTECH purposes. I'm so glad we could make this an option for them. The material was very well done.

I really loved this course, self paced, and lots of wonderful information. I have worked in the ER as a PA for 12 years, and really love the outdoors. My family and I adventure often. My husband was recently injured on a trip in the Desert, and while I knew most things given my medical background, I wanted more experience treating injured in a remote setting without all the tools of the Hospital. Thank you for this course! I am going to take WFR next!

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!

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.

William Welsh aka Yermo
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
