We offer a variety of technical rescue programs, designed
specifically for use in the most remote and austere environments.
These programs emphasize the use of available resources,
improvised solutions, and rational safety measures to accomplish
the mission.
Do not confuse these programs with the "firefighter" programs
taught to meet United States civilian statutes... These classes use
real problems in real settings to teach real solutions via learning the
concepts behind the procedures, not just cookbook solutions that
assume you have every piece of equipment ever made at your
fingertips... They Are Going To Rock Your Rescue World!
Wilderness, Expedition & Remote Rescue
- Levels I, II, III
- 7 days; 40 of CME/CEU's each.
- This series of courses is designed to complement the wilderness
medicine courses by providing additional training in the technical
aspects of patient access, stabilization, immobilization, and
evacuation.
- Wilderness, remote, austere, and disaster medical situations
often require extensive rescue and evacuation components to save
lives. Medical providers require a basic knowledge of the technical
aspects of the rescue component, as well as advanced skills and
experiences to be able to successfully integrate medical care with
the rescue process.
- The Level 1 Rescue Course introduces technical rescue
concepts and equipment, safety of all procedures and operations,
and patient immobilization, vertical hauling systems, and
movement through confined spaces, water hazards, and difficult
terrain. This course is primarily conducted through extensive field
learning exercises.
- Upon successful completion of the course the participant will be
well versed in the equipment, knots, rigging, anchors and anchor
systems, hauling and lowering systems, mechanical advantage,
rappelling, litter management, patient packaging, medical care and
incident management as well as many other skills and techniques
necessary for medical care and rescue in a remote or challenging
environment. Because of the remote nature of this course there is a
strong emphasis on improvisational skills and making do.
- The training will include several scenarios in the rivers, jungles
and caves of Belize, Costa Rica, Pakistan, or wherever we find
ourselves!
- Scenarios will include rescue and medical care in the jungle; cave
passages, river caves, underground waterfalls and deep
underground pits. The last scenario is a full day and evening
exercise, often requiring 16-20 hours to complete. The rescue and
medical skills learned in this course are applicable to any
wilderness setting.
- This course is often offered in conjunction with (either before or
after) the wilderness and tropical medicine class to allow
participants to gain the full introductory experience to wilderness
medicine and rescue.
- Many participants have had no prior rescue training. Most are
adventurous souls with a passion for the unusual or the unknown.
The majority of all participants from the U.S have been adventurers
who wish to expand their horizons and be challenged in a truly
unique and rare environment
.- Students have attended this course from a variety of
backgrounds including, firefighters, paramedics, EMT river guides,
rangers, police and SWAT officers, mountain and cave rescuers,
medical students, residents and physicians, as well as people who
are looking for an opportunity to push the envelope.
Introduction To Wilderness Rescue:
- 5 days, 25 hours of CME/CEU's.
- An intense but enjoyable introduction to the basics of patient
rescue in the remote and resource limited environment
- All days are full of an exciting combination of small group learning
and practice in the jungles, caves, and rivers of our training base.
- One overnight in the jungle is part of this program.
- This program is ideal for those with limited time but needing
sophisticated training; it grants the Introduction to Wilderness
Rescue Certification.
- Please inquire for details.
Rescue Level II, III; River & Swift-water Rescue Level I, II, III;
Rope & Vertical Element Rescue Level I, II, III; Mountain &
