Course Descriptions

Casualty Care
Casualty Care is a course to provide Hunters, Sportsman, and Shooters in general with the knowledge, skills, abilities and attitude to treat injuries received from severe penetrating and blunt force trauma. From a negligent discharge at the range to cutting yourself dressing you deer in the backcountry the ability to provide rapid trauma care to yourself or buddy may mean the difference between life and death. We will look at the current Tactical Combat Casualty Care Guidelines and show you how the same skills can be applied in the civilian setting. You will see real world examples that will demonstrate the need to have the knowledge and proper tools to deal with severe trauma. This is a 4 hour course.

Topics:

• TCCC History
• Human Factors
• Preventable Traumatic Death Injuries
• Three Phases of TCCC
• Hands On Skills

Casualty Care and Rescue
Casualty Care and Rescue takes the same course content as the Casualty Care course and adds a recuse component to it. Several aspects of rescue will be addressed including Self Rescue, Drags and Carries. Additional time will be spent on scenarios including all phases of TCCC. This is an 8 hour course.

Topics:

• TCCC History

Who is the instructor for this course? I recently took a similar one in GJ. The instructor was very good and the class was worthwhile.

Who is the instructor for this course? Why is the identity and qualifications of the teacher not disclosed in the course advertisement and the linked website? That's highly unusual. What is the reason for that? Why would someone pay good money to take a course from an anonymous person? Why would a business sponsor and sell a course without disclosing the entities involved? It seems very odd.

Good question

I am the instructor. I have 15 years experience as a Firefighter/Paramedic, during this time I was also a Tactical Paramedic for 4 years. In addition I was a GS13 Emergency Planning Analyst for DHS and DHHS for 10 years. I did my initial TCCC Train the Trainer training in 2009. The course is updated at least yearly as changes in TCCC are made and if those changes will affect the audience of the courses.

My previous website I had most of this info. I never added it to the new site because it was meant as info only to send people to after the class for more and continuing information. I will add an my instructor bio to page.

Thanks!

The 8 hour Casualty Care and Rescue class is coming up next weekend at Bristlecone. No reason to not know how to save a life. I am not sure how many spots are left open, but there should be some.

See the CAT

Just checked today, there are 9 signed up for the class. I think we limited it to 12. If you are interested get registered soon.

Two spots open for class tomorrow. It's gonna be snowy and cold may as well spend some time inside learning some lifesaving skills.
