Course Descriptions

Casualty Care - Stop The Bleed
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.

I think the Bowers class is getting full, if you want in on that one give Mike a call to get on the list.

I do not have anyone signed up for the class in Greeley. I will give that one until Thursday then I will cancel it. PM me if you want to attend that class.

There are also still seats for the full 8 hour class at Bristlecone.

Class in Greeley is canceled for this weekend.

Still have maybe a couple spots left at Bowers and more than a few at Bristlecone.

[cmailliard]

Apparently all the people that said they were going to go, have decided not to. So there are spots still open for this weekend at Bowers.

Recommendation/Request: Can we use FireMoth as the test dummy for the wound packing exercises? He already has the holes - and I can testify that he is a dummy.

[cmailliard]

I have no problem with that.

Are there any more planned for this year?

Nothing on the books yet. Summer is a pretty slow time for these classes. Most certainly will have some in the fall and later part of the year. Thanks

Sounds good. I need some first aid training for sure.
