So You Want To Be A NOLS Wilderness First Responder?

- The one with fake blood and dismembering... Let’s get something straight; the first rule of Wilderness First Responder training is that you don’t talk about Wilderness First Responder Training. That said, the rule is more about the “secrets” that make each individual program unique, like specifics about scenarios and whatnot. We’re not really going to get into that here, out of respect to the programs, but I do want to give you a couple tastes of what you might be biting off when you do decide to take the course. And yes, there really is blood, and a good bit of it throughout the course.
It’s fake blood, but blood nonetheless!

Here's the textbook link (go.thenomadexperiment.com/NOLS), and there are 6 more articles with all sorts of details about the course and lots of tomfoolery here: www.thenomadexperiment.com/category/budget-travel/travel-safety-tips/
The link for textbook no longer works can you please update it ? Tnx so much for the video
You had me at "late 30's guys who don't know what they're doing." :)
Haha! Right!?
You have quotation marks around that but you didn't quite get the quote right.
Early 50’s? Lol
I got my WFR through NOLS/Landmark back in late March/early April about an hour up the road from the Landmark campus and absolutely loved it. This video brought back a lot of great memories of some really great people I met there. Really made me feel confident (but not overly so!) of my ability to treat patients in the back country. Ended up getting me a spot on my local Search and Rescue team, and I loved it so much that I drove 8 hours to take the EMT Intensive at the Landmark upstream campus at the end of September. Really great folx, I'm super happy I stumbled upon Landmark and took the plunge into taking the WFR. I don't think it's an understatement to say it completely changed the path of my life.
Awesome! Yeah, I want to go back for more!
Awesome video, thanks so much for sharing!
Nice overview. This "mid-60s guy" did WOFR this year as continuing education for SAR. Great class, and you hit the nail on the head when you said great instrucotrs and fellow students. Highly recommended.
Thank you for this! I’m taking my WFR with landmark learning in a couple of weeks and this vid eased my eagerness of what to expect
I got my WFR at Lake Tahoe Community College this last October. Our final was on the mountainside “Pie Shop” bouldering area. Fantastic!
I’m literally doing this right now! Just finished the first day!
Thanks for making this video. I'm thinking about getting my wilderness medic stuff and my wild land firefighting , I'm going to Job shadow my dad at work
Great video! I completed my WFR through Wilderness Medical Associates, and am taking my Wilderness Upgrade for Medical Professionals through NOLS in November (Am a Paramedic now). Ill be certified as a WEMT when i'm done.
I was the patient for our final nighttime WFR scenario.
“Chilling” in the redwoods of Santa Cruz with fake blood and gore all over my leg is a great memory 😂
Thanks for the video. Looks like a good program at that facility. Also, I'm fairly sure one of the guys who was tying up your leg in a splint was a friend of mine at college. I'll have to get in touch with him to see if he took the course with you.
Yes. Loved the program. Everyone in the class was great too! Crazy if you know one of them!
NOLS - A bunch of wanna be experts with EMT status. Not a fan of NOLS, so much arrogance, very little life experience. Many, many other far more legit certifying options - just saying
Nate Braun which ones would you recommend then??
@@natebraun3010 Which ones would you recommend?
@@GamerKidEdits Wilderness Medical Associates, which someone else suggested is excellent. They have been science/evidence based for years.
Many people swear by Solo. They were the founding agency in wilderness medicine and have a solid curriculum also.
This is on my "list". So are the Smokies. Thanks for your honest review. Your road video looks like you were on a Hardley. Vibrating like hell. Must be a Jeep ;-)
Yep, 4-door Jeep!
Where in NC was this? I saw the Great Smokies in the video...
What kind of food did you bring with you?
I love this guy
Great video! May I ask what your textbook was? I’m taking the course and want to get a head start on reading. My brother took it five years ago and used Wilderness First Responder by Buck Tilton. It seems they’ve switched to NOLS Wilderness Medicine 6th Ed. since then? Thanks!
Thanks Niels. Just pinned a comment with that info and more!
The Nomad Experiment Thanks!!! For some reason I’m getting a 404 error on the link but it could just be me.
Thanks. Yeah, link seems to be working. You can always just go to the site and search for it or go under "travel safety" for all of them! Thanks again!
What is the song in the video?
Late 30's hahaha so me too. Dunno but kinda know tho. Lol
Does this certify you for state and nremt?
I doubt it. More like supplemental training.
No.
Climbing on a boulder after the rain is how I almost died a couple of years ago so not that smart.
Is anyone sleeping in tents?
