Keith Hanson is a highly qualified tactical first aid training expert. The course he will be teaching will be Gunshot Wound and Trauma First Aid Course, based on TCCC protocols and the Council on Tactical Combat Casualty Care. Similar to those given to top law enforcement or military personnel. When asked how to describe the value and importance of this course he put it simply: “When seconds matter do you have the skills necessary to save a life?”
If you’ve been looking to acquire the skills necessary to save a life whether from injuries sustained from an active shooter, negligent discharge on the range, or car accident there will be something to take away for all experience levels. Whether you’ve never applied a tourniquet or you’re an experienced EMT there will be a lot of knowledge and skills to take away from the course.
Become a Qualified Fr33 Aid Volunteer
Do you want to serve your FSP community by volunteering in Fr33 Aid at Porcfest and receive the glory and respect that comes along with it? This is a great opportunity to become qualified to volunteer in that role! Porcfest 2025’s Fr33 Aid leader, Dr. Dee, will be in attendance, and is enthusiastic about this learning opportunity for Fr33 Aid volunteers, both veterans and new people who have always wanted to have the skills to contribute but didn’t know how to get qualified. This is a great opportunity for past Fr33 Aid Volunteers to rehearse and build skills, and an opportunity for new people with the desire to volunteer a solid foundation!
As Libertarians, we believe that these skills are extraordinarily valuable, some might say necessary, to establishing a confident and safe gun culture. You don’t want to find yourself in a situation where you need the skills to save a life, and you don’t have them, or need to rely on the state to save the day in the most desperate and vulnerable moments. This event will give each individual the vital skills to save a life; empowering them to be that much less dependent on the state. An opportunity to build the some of skills necessary to make the state obsolete and redundant, be part of the Re-LOVE-ution and RSVP now!
