Read MoreLoved it all! Very informative. Great first step to plan for a full onsite WFR course. It reviews all the information needed with very detailed explanations and it quizzes your knowledge... Glad I was able to do the test more than once, cause it's a lot of information to take in.

Read MoreI enjoyed learning this material and picked up some key things I didn't know! I think it served as a great intro with enough detail to get started in wilderness first aid and it gave just enough info so one would know what to do given a situation while out in the wilderness. But please just check the spelling errors littered throughout the presentations - the presentations were great, but the misspellings somehow take away from its authenticity. Thank you.

Read MoreThe time i took out to write this review stems from the true gratitude i feel for the makers of this masterpiece starting from Robin Duclas who has a pretty clear and concise way of delivering the info to all the backstage contributors to this course. The fact that this info is made freely available to literally anyone regardless of their financial abilities makes it all the more precious as one piece of info here might make the difference between the life or death or lifelong disability of a human, especially in developing or poor countries. Your work is not only studied but also shared and appreciated by the world so thank you truly

Read MoreI took Nathan's in-person course 3 years ago and this was just as informative as the classroom course. I think in some ways it was more helpful as you can return to the material for a review. The only possible difficulty is finding a willing subject for the practicals. In the classroom, you have each other to practice and learn from but Nathan's descriptions and step-by-step instructions are very helpful. Note bene - last time I took the course, I went on a spring outing with my son's scout troop and a scout cut himself pretty badly and eventually needed stitches. He had some severe bleeding so I followed my training, irrigated the would, applied an ample set of gauze over and around the wound, and taped it up so he could get evacuated to the hostpital. His father later told me that when the ER staff saw his hand, they thought, "What kind of joker dressed this?" because his finger looked like something out of a cartoon. As they took the gauze off and it wound started bleeding profusely again, they said I'd done a good job bandaging him. 5 stitches. Thanks, Nathan!

Read MoreThis is my 6th recertification and my first with American Outdoor School. Also my first online recertification. I learned a lot. New scenarios, a different way of looking at problems etc. I felt the material, especially the spinal injury topic, was very up to date with current practices. I wasn’t sure I would like the online approach, but it worked well. I would recommend doing a few modules a day instead of binge-watching
