Reviews
"As a Ventana Wilderness Alliance ranger I took the two-day Wilderness First Aid course with Ryan. The course was engaging, practical, and directly applicable to the situations we encounter in the field. The scenarios and hands-on approach made it one of the most useful trainings I've attended."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I've been a paramedic for 40 years, and I just have to say that was one of the best classes I've seen."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"The course is fast-paced, packed with valuable information, and filled with realistic, hands-on training simulations and scenarios. After completing this course, I feel much better prepared to deal with potentially severe trauma or illness in settings where communication to the outside world is sketchy at best and where evacuating a patient to a medical facility typically takes at least a few hours and sometimes even days."
