Stop the Bleed - great class

January 19, 2026

Learned a lot from this class. I had no previous formal First Aid or CPR classes and was a little worried that I wouldn’t be able to understand the terms or techniques being used but Scott was very conversational, practical and jnformative. I would highly recommend this class for anyone of any skill level.

Great instructor

January 18, 2026

Wasn’t expecting as in depth of a class, but the instructor Scott Mize was great. In addition to covering the important material, he answered all questions very well, and helped show better techniques for applications of equipment (whether supplementary or intended directly) to combat bleeding and stabilize the wounded in the field. Also showed and explained some subtle things one can do that can act as a force ratio multiplier for pressure against bleeding, that simultaneously relieves the amount of pressure you personally have to exert.

Great instruction and skill development

December 21, 2025

Scott is a fantastic instructor brining years of experience to this course. I appreciated the organization of the content and delivery speed. Not to fast or to slow, and super engaging. The real world scenarios combined with the hands on practice opportunities helped to enhanced the training, deepening the learning experience. Because of this course, I feel significantly more confident in my ability to help in a highly emergent situation. Thanks Scott!

Acquiring the knowledge

November 10, 2025

As a responsible gun owner, I realized when I took this class if there was some fundamentals that I was missing and didn’t understand when I’m at the range, and I go out shooting, or I couldn’t figure out like, sometimes why I would jam. Or just the safety of just carrying the gun itself. This class has given me a high reassurance of knowing how to be safe with the firearm and protecting my family. The instructor was very intentional and knowledgeable and is a great asset to helping you be safe.

Rodney Reese

NW Survival made me a Kydex OWB holster for a Sig p365x with a red dot. The fit is excellent and the handgun is secure.

Great Class

June 4, 2025

I attended a Stop The Bleed class over the weekend and was very happy with how thorough it was. Our instructor, Scott, explained the concepts in a way that was memorable, and made the class fun! A great class for anyone who wants to learn how to help themselves and others.

Informative class, good instructor

May 5, 2025

Just what I was expecting, good information, good instructor. The location and time could have been better. The Sportsman’s Warehouse where the class was held wasn’t open until 10am, the same time the class was to start. I would have preferred to NOT have the class run through lunch time…; Overall I’m glad I took the course.

Scott Mize did an exceptional job at keeping you engaged during an early Sunday morning class. Covered the material in a way that was easy to understand and retain. I highly recommend taking this class.

Thank you for your insights Scott!

Engaging and extremely qualified

May 5, 2025

I expected informative and competent but Scott was much more than that. His humor and authenticity kept the class engaging and gave the content relevance to everyday life. He used his years of experience to provide examples and guidance for possible situations that we will encounter; allowing us to learn from his choices before we have to make them ourselves. I will definitely recommend him to friends that are interested in a CHL.

CHL and Stop the bleed

October 20, 2024

Scott is very thorough and knowledgeable. From our first class with the CHL I learned more in that class than I did the first time I got my CHL. I only went to get my Utah certification since I already had my Oregon one but left with more information than I thought I would. Due to this we decided to take his other class stop the bleed which we would highly recommend. We are going to do more classes to follow, he is very easy to learn from and the classes go by fast. thank you for sharing life changing learning experiences.
