Accidents happen. People get hurt, sick, or lost. The temperature drops, the wind picks up, and it starts to rain. Would you know what to do? Many backcountry emergencies are preventable, and even when bad things happen, you can make the difference between a bad outcome and a good one - and maybe even save a life.


 

Who is Wilderness First Aid (WFA) for?

WFA is the perfect course for the outdoor enthusiast and is required for outings leaders by organizations such as the Sierra Club and Scouts. No prior first aid experience is required. Our WFA class meets or exceeds the guidelines of the Sierra Club, BSA, ACA and many other outdoor organizations. 

What is taught?

WFA is a two day course that teaches you to avoid, prevent or cope with emergencies in the wilderness. You’ll learn about environmental and biological hazards, medical problems, and injuries. And you will practice many first aid techniques as well as patient assessment, then put all your skills together in role-playing scenarios. 

Where and when is it held?

Our WFA course is held at the Sports Basement Presidio (610 Old Mason St. San Francisco, CA) or at the Sports Basement Berkeley (2727 Milvia St. Berkeley). Please select your location during signup and note that the start time differs by store.

Is there an exam?

No prerequisites and no written exam. We evaluate your skills throughout the course. To be certified, you must:
 Attend and participate in the entire class.
 Demonstrate the skills during class practice sessions.

Do I get certified?

Yes. You will receive NASAR WFA certification which is valid for two years.

Who does the certification come from?

The National Association for Search and Rescue, (NASAR) is dedicated to advancing professional, literary, and scientific knowledge in fields related to search and rescue. NASAR is comprised of thousands of professionals interested in all aspects of search and rescue - the humanitarian cause of saving lives - throughout the United States and around the world. The NASAR WFA certification is recognized throughout the United States and in several other countries.
 

Breakdown of Class Time

Classroom

We use vivid slides and interactive teaching methods to explain what can cause wilderness emergencies.

Practice

You’ll learn more bandaging and splinting techniques in 16 hours than we teach EMTs in 160 hours, because they have an ambulance full of equipment for a short ride to the hospital, whereas you’ll have what’s in your pack or can improvise before you evacuate the patient. You’ll also learn how to do a full patient assessment for serious injuries or medical problems.

Scenarios

You’ll do realistic, role-playing scenarios to put all your skills together, working solo and in teams. You’ll also learn and practice how to organize patient information and give an oral report to medical professionals.

Fun toy
Style: Lion Shape
Dog loved this toy. Tore hole in body to get squeaker out fairly quickly, but still played with it for a long time.

Fabric lasted less than 3 minutes. Just buy cotton rope.
Style: Monkey Shape, Style: Monkey Shape
You might as well just buy cotton rope. We should have been more careful in reading the "fine print." The description does say, "For gentlemanly dogs, it is more durable and can be used with light chewing," and "it's not indestructible dog toy." Our dog can play with one of the duck/platypus plush toys ("best seller") for months until the fabric wears through. Our expectation of more than 3 minutes from package opening to the floor being covered with stuffing was too high.

Worth it for small dogs
Style: Monkey Shape, Style: Monkey Shape
Quality is good and durable. I have a dachshund and he hasn’t ripped the squeaker out yet! The squeak is a higher pitch noise. My dog loves it. It’s nice it doubles as a tug of rope toy and a stuffy. It matched description and pictures. With all that being said if you have a bigger dog it probably won’t last long.

Sturdy Quality
Style: Cake Shape, Style: Cake Shape
These toys were perfect for my dog’s 4th birthday. You get three toys for a really reasonable price, and the quality is actually really good. He loved them right away, especially the cake toy — it makes a great crinkle sound that he can’t get enough of. They were also perfect for birthday photos. Overall, a really cute set and definitely worth it.
