Wilderness Advanced First Aid Course June 28, 29, 30 & July 1, 2012
It is time to sign up. We have a minimum required to hold the class.

The Wilderness Advanced First Aid clinic will provide you with skills, knowledge and training to handle life threatening medical emergencies and allows you to be better prepared to protect your family in an emergency. Wilderness Advanced First Aid is a four day immersion into general medical concepts and Basic Life Support skills. This course teaches what to do with a medical emergency when help is miles away and calling 911 isn’t an option. If you plan to become a Wilderness First Responder, this is the first 4 days of the 8 day Wilderness First Response course. You can take the second 4 days at a later time (within 3 years).

" The Wilderness First Aid was one of the MOST USEFULL clinics I have ever attended, due in large part to the effort you and Josh put in to make it all possible. "
Joe de Kehoe

Note - this is a four day class and you must be at least 18 years old. If you are interested follow these links.

" We had a great weekend offroading through Goler Gulch and Last Chance Canyon a few weeks ago. The trails were moderate to difficult.(some quite difficult due to the big rocks in the canyon) I felt so confident and relaxed while I was driving thanks to my 2 day offroad training with you. I knew exactly how to handle every obstacle we encountered with skill. Everything I learned in your class came in handy on the two days of offroading. I also had alot of fun since I felt so confident. I know I would not have driven these trails had I not taken the classes. I probably would have been too intimidated. Thanks for your great offroading school. "

Is damaging an expensive vehicle or the risks of off-highway driving keeping you from using your 4-wheel drive vehicle? Then review the 4x4 off-road training schedule and register for a 4x4 class to learn the right way. You will save more then the cost of the clinic by learning how to avoid vehicle damage and towing charges. You will also save money by buying the right equipment the first time! But more importantly you will learn how to drive safely to protect yourself and your passengers

If you have a group that requires 4x4 off-road training, contact us. Flexible hours and locations for 4x4 off-road training can be arranged.

The classes listed are designed for the recreational 4WD driver. A unique, focused 4-wheel Drive clinic is available for groups who use four wheel drive at work. Specific themes can be worked into the 4x4 off-road training for corporate users (e.g. safety, team work, etc.). The off-road training location is flexible and can be arranged on your site.

Make it Fun. Make it Safe.

" Hey, Tom. I have made it to Montana. Because of the condition of the roads where I want to go, I am using 4WD by necessity almost every day, and I call upon my May 12 training with you just about as often. I have yet to encounter an obstacle I couldn't pass or a hill I couldn't climb. And just knowing how to perform the actions correctly has prevented me from doing any cosmetic damage to my truck.
I am getting to know the truck mechanically as well -- in addition to the frequent inspections I do per your training, I installed an aux battery and split-charger system (with a roof-rack- mounted solar panel to help trickle-charge when sitting dormant on location). Directly inspired by your rig, I also built a wood deck in the bed and installed an Engel 45 fridge (cold beer with just-caught brook trout -- sweet).
I am still studying the excellent book and other materials you gave me, but you were right-- time behind the wheel was the main thing I needed. I spent 10 days traveling from CA to MT and followed a strict no-motel/no-KOA rule, which put me in the dirt (and into some great, completely secluded flyfishing territory) quite a bit. By the time I got here to Montana, all the terrain I have encountered has been familiar and usually trivial to pass through. No Montanan that has led me or accompanied me has batted an eye at my skills (although they are a pretty non-judgmental lot in general here, and I have yet to hear a single word of 4x4 jargon -- if you make it up the hill, you made it up the hill).
As you can probably tell, I consider the day of training I had with you a terrific bargain. You threw quite a bit at me, but I've spent the time since following up on every bit of it that I could remember. So thanks. "

What our customers have to say:

"I would to thank you and your staff for a very informative and enjoyable 4x4 basic training class. The pace and content of the classroom session was excellent , as was the hands on driving portion , I now feel a lot more confidant about taking my family and a $30,000 plus vehicle off highway. The pace of both sessions was just right, and at no time did I feel rushed. I look forward to taking another one of your classes, and or, trail rides in the future. "

Gordon Crosby

"My wife and I would like to thank you for such a great time! I know the whole group had a lot of fun and it was because of you it happened. I loved the challenge at each turn. Since taking your beginners class at Hungry Valley, I tried putting into effect everything I was taught. I have been doing some small runs but nothing like we did today. I needed to know my overall limitations - mental, physical and vehicular abilities. I have set most fears aside and let my Jeep do all the work along with a bit of guidance. What were the Alps in Hungry Valley are now sand dunes. Today was more than I ever expected! My wife truly enjoyed the 4 wheeling trip and we will be four wheeling together as a couple."
