AI6YR Ben (npub1ucv…5a8g) The funny thing is that this is like my personal minimum bar for feeling comfortable saying to a person "hey, I know some first aid, I'm going to try to help you ok?" — especially if it's something serious. I didn't think this was a high bar.
What I'd like to see, personally/for groups I work with, is a semi-wilderness version of the UK 3-day, i.e. operating on the assumption that help is at least four hours away. That, taught to the depth (in terms of procedure complexity) of the US DoD Combat Lifesaver course, plus a bit more detail around mental health, mass casualty triage, and scene and information management, feels like it would be a solid bar if one was expecting to need these skills in a context where one night be prevented from receiving medical care.
In practice, the 3-day can usually be two days of primary training if your class is at all smart, and I'm guessing you could fit this curriculum into three weekends with plenty of time for drills and refreshers. Sadly, nothing like that here as a standard thing either.
