This was posted on another outdoor forum, it's a good source of information for real situations rather than the Kwik Clot and Israeli bandage unlikely scenarios.

Adam is an old pal of mine and I have attended many of his courses.
His teaching style is ... unique ... and you not only remember what 1st Aid you were taught but how much you laughed as you learned!
The emphasis is on (as the name suggests) REAL and likely scenarios, with much of the teaching done in scenario based sessions in realistic settings- I have great memories of a couple walking their dog having to be reassured that, no I was not really having a heart attack and no they did not need to call an ambulance, when they stumbled across part of our role play
It was thanks to Adams training that, when a bloke I knew started having a major fit in our Church and was unlucky enough to technically "die" (zero output "Do not shock" on the Defib) that I with help was able to do enough to get him back to spontaneous output (back to life) using CPR, deal with a chaps dislocated a knee in the middle of a desert trek in S Africa and other emergencies.
Real 1st Aid is what is says it is!
