Anyone on here got theirs? I start mine tomorrow, I have no medical background and I'm really not sure what to expect but should be interesting.

I suppose I'm a little late here, but I did my 50hr through Slipstream last spring. I also had 0 medical background except for a basic knowledge of CPR and my course went fine. It's a lot of information but it's pretty easy to put into practice.
Also I got a huge kick out of how janky wilderness first aid can be. I think that shit's super interesting and I always found it cool that there's not necessarily a prescribed material or method for it. That is to say that you might have to make a splint out of a stick and use your extra clothes to pad it or something. Or I once made an ankle brace out of a plastic sign. I dunno, just always thought that shit was really cool.
Anyway, I've digressed. Point is it's fun and not that hard. Hope you pass.
