Hi James!

Thanks for the amazing class again! It was wonderful and very helpful to redo much of the information as I had defined the skills and info in the course. The group was amazing to work with and I am glad there are now more people who I trust in the medical community!

Hello James,
This is Alec who took your April 22nd course this year. I just wanted to let you know how much your course helped me. I had taken the 40hr wilderness course before, but afterwards, I felt I hadn’t learned much and I was still very uncomfortable with First Aid. After yours though, I feel as though I retained a lot and my confidence level is much higher. So I thank you for that, and I hope you’re having a great summer.

“Hi James,
Wanted to thank you for the phenomenal course this weekend. It was fun (albeit the weather) and learned a lot. I especially appreciated the scenarios…it kind of puts you on the spot but a great way to practice and learn (they call it ‘active learning’ in the world of education-best way to teach realistically). “

“GREAT course today!! You are a phenomenal instructor and I was engaged the entire day. I learned a lot of material and was very pleased to refresh my knowledge in all of the areas. Thank you very much for offering such an inspiring class in such an enthusiastic way!” Nicole  March 2021

“James offers an excellent weekend wilderness first aid course, in part thanks to his wealth of experience, but also his engaging teaching alongside great stories; 20 hours well spent; not a moment wasted.”

“James,  Thank you for the awesome course! It’s clear you love the outdoors and your passion shines through with your knowledge. Hope to see you again on the next level! Stay adventurous!”

“I originally considered registering for this course because it is required by Scouts in the new BP&P, but I quickly decided it would also be beneficial for me in my personal life because of all of the camping and hiking I like to do with my friends and family. There were a lot of tips and tricks I picked up for scenarios that could easily arise during a day hike or back-country camping trip. I will be recommending you to my outdoorsy friends and family.”

“Hey James, it was a really good experience!
Although I have been trained and re-trained over 30 years, I learned a lot of great new ways of taking care of the patient plus remembering all I had forgotten was a true bonus!🙂 ”                                                                                                       Scott – October 2018

Hey James,
Thx again for hosting that course, I really feel that I gained some extremely valuable knowledge.   I am very interested in doing the next [Advanced Wilderness and Remote First Aid] course so put me down for the wait list.
