Intermediate First Aid for the Sportsman 5APR09

Where: Terre Haute Gander Mountain Lodge

When: 10am to 6pm

Gear: All training materials will be supplied

Cost: $95

Lead Instructor: Tom Hildebrand

This course will take you beyond cuts and scrapes to what we really need to know to do until help arrives. Some of the subjects covered will be: What is in Your first aid kit? Primary and secondary surveys. C-spine control and CPR. Environmental, Blunt Force and Gunshot Trauma. Baseline vitals and information the Paramedics will want to know. And we’ll talk about cuts and scrapes, too!

I want to take this class, so I will be there.

Tom is a truly gifted educator for those who have not yet met him. He also brings a combination of experience and education that few if any people have.

 

[Coach]

This class is tactical enough for anyone out there. Tom has a background that few if any in this state could match. Been there and done that is the proper way to begin his introduction. If you want to learn how to treat wounds and injuries ACT has the man on staff that can teach you anything you want to know. After sitting through two training sessions with him that were eye opening I highly recommend him.

The knowlege base is broad, and the stories are good as well. Real world experience from operations abroad, find that in this state let alone in this price range. Not going to happen.

Given the lack of response, I am curious why we've seen so little interest in this offering.

To those who are reading this, are you not interested in first-aid or emergency medical care, or is it something else? Would a more detailed, bulleted list of topics help? Is it the title of the class that is the problem? Something else?

Let us know, please.

This does not sound too bad at all. I'd like to learn a few more advanced procedures, other than basic first aid. Let me check my schedule.

And it's local for you, too!

I'd like to see a more detailed agenda if possible. I'm on the fence right now, that is following Knob Creek Saturday, may have to R O the sub gun match, and won't get back til late, so up early and drive to the Haute, but that could be ok.

Thank You

I just saw this. I'm intested, but I'd like to see an outline of the topics.

OK, I'll be there

This looks like some good stuff. Big plus is for those of us who are First Responder's, EMT's, or Paramedics, this will be good in-service.

Do we need to bring anything?

I'm guessing we sign up through the ACT website.

Thanks,
