Did you know that the average response time for EMS in rural Pennsylvania ranges from 17 - 24 minutes, but can range to well over an hour, due to shrinking budgets and declining volunteerism.

Wilderness and Remote First Aid (WRFA) classes aren't just designed to teach you first aid for exotic, far-off places. They are designed to teach you how to respond to sudden injury or illness anytime that access to definitive care by EMS is delayed (75% of PA is considered to be rural).

Who should take Wilderness and Remote First Aid?

Moms
Dads
Scouts
Teachers
Students
Oil and gas workers
Farmers
Loggers/sawyers/arborists
Factory workers
Coaches
Park rangers/educators
Law enforcement
Summer camps
Anyone who works with the public
Anyone who works/plays outside
Anyone who has family or neighbors

WRFA is a 16 hour course that will teach you how to recognize and care for soft tissue injuries/severe bleeding, skeletal injuries, head/neck/back injuries, cold related injuries, heat illness, diabetic emergencies, anaphylactic shock, and much more! Don't stand around helplessly the next time you witness someone who is injured or ill. Take action! Sandcut Outdoors LLC is currently scheduling WRFA classes for late winter - summer of 2026.

Early testing is demonstrating that ticks can be transported through the air through static electric charge, possibly debunking belief that you have to brush against them.

Many folks who have taken my classes will benefit from this web site, whether you purchase the product or use their recipes to DIY. Keep some of this stuff with you while working and playing outside this summer.

SPECIAL NOTICE:

For anyone considering taking any of my classes...

Please note that NO PAYMENT is ever required in advance of the class. No deposits. No zero balances. Nothing. All payments are due, in person, on the first day of class. Anyone stating that they have tickets to sell to one of my classes is a lying, parasitic pile of dung. That can never happen, because I simply don't sell seats in advance of the class. All that I ask is for a reasonable amount of commitment. If you ask to enroll, please truly mean that. Even saying that, I understand that life does happen sometimes. If you do have to back out from class, I hold no ill will against you. This is also one of the reasons that I don't accept payment in advance. There is absolutely zero risk that my students will lose a deposit because of unforseen circumstances.

Further, all of my classes have an unconditional 100% money back guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with my class by lunch on the first day of class (or by the midpoint of one day classes), please let me know and I will happily refund all of your money. I am so confident in the content of my courses, I would rather lose money, by offering this, than to have an unhappy client.

End of diatribe.

Be well,

Mike

Today I saw an email pop up from a former student from one of my Wilderness and Remote First Aid classes. I figured that he was reaching out to sign up to renew his certification mext month. But...this email was a WHOLE lot better. (Copied, but names omitted).

"Hey Mike!

Just wanted to check in again and tell you that I ended up getting my national firefighter, and now both [my wife] and I are in the middle of getting our EMT cert. That class we took with you really gave us the bug! It also remains the most well-taught emergency response class I've taken.

Hope you're doing well,

[Former student]"

There are some days teaching, where you wonder if you're just wasting your breath. And then there's days like today! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go bask in my own awesomeness for awhile. 🙂

if politicians take over, that loyalty to biology changes drastically, writer says.
