This is a rare chance to take Responder I, Responder II, and Responder III!

Day 1:

Responder I trains the individual on trauma medicine tactics using the MARCH-E algorithm to treat arterial bleeding, gun shot wounds, sucking chest wounds, lacerations, and other common traumatic injuries.

Responder II then covers CPR/AED and builds increased familiarity with the MARCH-E algorithm though hands on application. The use of the following medical devices/items is addressed: application of a CAT tourniquet, use of an Emergency Trauma Dressing (ETD), application of chest seals, use of triangular bandages, use of the SWAT-T tourniquet, wound packing with compressed gauze, appropriate use of clotting agents, CPR bag mask valve, AED, and more.

Day 2:

Responder III then takes what was learned Day 1 and goes even deeper into Tactical Medical Care (TacMed). There is a greater focus on the Mindset of the immediate responder, the Methodology of care under fire, and the Medicine of bleeding control, shock prevention, and casualty evacuation. This is accomplished through not only class instruction but also simulated, force on force, and high stress scenarios. You will learn practical application of civilian interior defensive tactics when responding to an active shooter, victim injury assessment, alternative wound dressing techniques, how to physically evacuate casualties in a safe manner, and more.

This is a highly active and energized class; participants should not only have already taken Responder I or II but be able to move unassisted and be capable of lifting a reasonable amount of weight. This class is scenario driven and instructors may trigger physiological responses with the use of external stressors. It is highly recommended that long sleeves and pants be worn. YOU WILL GET MUDDY, WET, BLOODY, ETC THROUGH THE COURSE OF THIS CLASS. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED YOU BRING A CHANGE OF CLOTHES AMD SHOES. 

This is two 10-hour days of training back to back. Students will be responsible for their own meals and drinks. Cost of the class includes a Trainer Kit, which will be retained by the student, and a MARCH-E Algorithm reference.

All these are the best kits you can get period! I have a full and min bearfak and Ill be buying one every year and so should you! Life is precious so save it with these!

First of all, Refuge Medical is the GOAT. Secondly, that extends to the gear they make. The BearFAK 3.0 is, by FAR, the most intuitive IFAK I've ever laid hands on. It's just slightly bigger than the military issued standard IFAK, but it fits the components better, leaving more space for extra necessities. I've thrown in a few extra CELOX gauze packs for good measure. Thank you, Refuge Medical, for another outstanding product!

Yet another great life saving kit. The Multicamo ALPINE OPFAK is the toughest around.

Picked up another BearFAK in M81 Woodland (aka God's Plaid). Best kits on the planet for being prepared for any trauma incident. And as always, best customer service anywhere!

My favorite IFAK design. This is the 2nd SOB I have gotten. First was in multicam during my time in the 82nd Airborne. I chose it for compact design and all around quality. I still keep I on my chest rig for ranges. This 2nd SOB in green for my new life as a college student. It lives on my armor upgraded backpack.

I'm a surgical Technician of 30 years and this is one of the best put together, and most extensive first aid bag you could purchase. I have acquired all but 2 out of approximately 20 of my kits from Refuge, and even those pale in comparison. The staff, customer service, and mission of Refuge Medical is beyond compare. If it's not completely obvious I love these people and the gear they supply, and I can't praise them enough. Thank you Refuge for all you do.

Just received my sob. It's awesome and I'm glad to have it. I decided to put it on my dogs vest as he's usually the only one with me on hunting trips. Definitely going to purchase a more kits in the near future

I purchased just pouch almost a yr ago and have worn it everyday. It has held up from work, ridding horses, to everyday life. I have been lucky that I have not had to use any items from kit. I carry a lot of items in my pockets so this is nice to be able to carry medical supplies. I have recommended it to people and would to anyone.

Absolutely top tier class! The level of training and instruction in this series is fully immersive and comprehensive. I recommend this class to anyone looking to further their understanding and capabilities of emergency response on a fundamental and realistic level. Every citizen should take this class if you take your safety and those around you serious. I will definitely be back to learn more. Thank you so much Refuge Medical!

We've purchased the BearFAK 3.0, kids' kits, small of back IFAKs, slick kits, various other items for our home, autos, and businesses. I've also been to the Radio Made Easy course in Spiro. High Quality items, solid training, and great service. Well worth the money for all.

What a great class! Refuge instructors have a wonderful gift for breaking you down and rebuilding you into a Responder. Bring a change of clothes. You'll get messy, but 100s or even 1000s of repetitions applying tourniquets, wound packing, pressure dressing wounds, etc. You'll also get the opportunity to figure out what your trauma induced mental blocks are, and how to overcome them. 5/5 recommend. And carry an fn tourniquet.

This class was hands down the BEST training for emergency first aid I have ever received. The in depth knowledge and the care in which the instructors show to each attendee was above and beyond expectations. Will be going to the winter class!

It was a life-changing, paradigm-shifting experience for me. Can't recommend enough. I carry med equipment on me now, always.
