Are you ready to land off airport?

Three Day Wilderness Medicine and Survival Seminar

June 26-28, 2025

The Details

  • Instructors

    Attendance is capped at 15 students to ensure a great, hands on experience for every student. Jon and Joe will bring in other industry leaders to teach.

  • Learning

    This is a hands on course. Don’t expect a power point. Expect to walk away with Wilderness First Aid and hemorrhage control certifications. Expect to gain knowledge in survival tactics to help you and your passengers in the event you make an off airport landing.

  • Location

    2025’s course will be held at Root Ranch, a private guest ranch in the Middle Fork wilderness area. The airstrip lies at 5580’ elevation and is 2600ft long, so this year’s course requires an airplane, and experience, to attend.

  • Accommodation

    Bring a plane, a tent, or nothing. After all, aren’t we teaching you to survive an unexpected night out? However, if you want to splurge a cabin can be arranged for extra costs.
