Description
Learn a clear, prioritized approach to a trauma emergency through five practical video modules taught by Jaron Tietsort. No medical background required.
Gear matters. Knowing what to do first matters more.
A trauma emergency can feel chaotic. M.A.R.C.H. gives you a clear order for assessing what is happening and deciding where your attention is needed first.
In five focused modules, Jaron Tietsort walks through severe bleeding, airway, breathing, circulation, hypothermia, and head-injury awareness using calm demonstrations and practical home drills. The course is designed for parents, drivers, outdoor users, coaches, workplace leaders, and anyone who wants to be more useful while professional help is on the way.
No medical background is required.
WHAT YOU WILL PRACTICE
- KNOW WHAT TO CHECK FIRST: Use the M.A.R.C.H. framework to bring order to a stressful trauma assessment.
- CONTROL SEVERE BLEEDING: Learn how direct pressure, wound packing, hemostatic gauze, and tourniquets fit into a bleeding-control response.
- SUPPORT AIRWAY AND BREATHING: Understand the course's practical steps for positioning, assessing breathing, and recognizing a serious chest injury.
- RECOGNIZE SHOCK AND HEAT LOSS: Learn warning signs to watch for and practical ways to reduce heat loss while help is coming.
- PRACTICE WITH YOUR KIT: Follow guided drills so the supplies in your first aid kit feel familiar before an emergency.
- REWATCH WHENEVER YOU NEED IT: Keep lifetime access and refresh the framework from any compatible device.
THE M.A.R.C.H. FRAMEWORK
M.A.R.C.H. is a prioritized trauma-assessment framework. It helps you remember what to evaluate first instead of trying to solve everything at once.
M — MASSIVE HEMORRHAGE
Recognize severe bleeding and understand where direct pressure, wound packing, hemostatic gauze, and tourniquets may fit into the response.
A — AIRWAY
Learn how the course assesses airway concerns and demonstrates basic positioning techniques while professional help is being contacted.
R — RESPIRATION
Assess breathing, recognize signs that may indicate a serious chest injury, and understand the role of a chest seal in an appropriate first-aid kit.
C — CIRCULATION
Check circulation and recognize common warning signs associated with shock.
H — HYPOTHERMIA + HEAD INJURY
Understand why reducing heat loss matters after trauma and learn warning signs that should prompt urgent professional evaluation.
TAUGHT BY JARON TIETSORT
Jaron is a former EMT and firefighter with search-and-rescue experience. He teaches with a calm, practical style that makes unfamiliar equipment and procedures easier to understand.
There is no tactical posturing and no assumption that you already know the terminology—just clear demonstrations, organized steps, and guided practice.

- REWATCH ANYTIME: Return whenever you want a refresher.
WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR
- Parents and caregivers
- Drivers and travelers
- Hikers, campers, hunters, boaters, and outdoor users
- Coaches, workplace leaders, and people responsible for a group
- Anyone who owns a first aid kit but wants more confidence using it
YOUR GEAR IS ORGANIZED. YOUR KNOWLEDGE SHOULD BE TOO.
SurviveX kits are built to help you find the right supply under pressure. This course applies that same thinking to your skills: a clear framework, practical demonstrations, and repeatable steps.
Prepared. Organized. Life-saving.
Important: This course is educational and is not a professional certification or a substitute for professional medical care. Call 911 for serious injuries and follow instructions from emergency professionals. Do not perform a technique or use a device outside its instructions, your training, or applicable local guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need medical experience?
No. The course is designed for everyday people and explains the M.A.R.C.H. framework step by step. You should still follow product instructions, local guidance, and directions from emergency professionals.
Is this a certification course?
No. This is personal preparedness education, not a professional certification. It teaches the M.A.R.C.H. assessment framework so you can act with confidence while waiting for professional help to arrive. For formal certifications (EMT, Stop the Bleed, CPR), contact a local accredited training provider.
How long is the course?
Five video modules totaling about 30 minutes of instruction. Each module is short enough to watch and practice in one sitting. The real value is in the homework drills — plan on roughly 10 minutes of practice a week to build lasting muscle memory.
How will I receive access?
Access instructions are sent to the email used at checkout. The course is digital and nothing is shipped with a course-only order.
How long will I have access?
You receive lifetime access and can revisit the modules whenever you want a refresher.
Do I need a SurviveX kit?
No. The framework can be learned without one. A kit containing the supplies demonstrated in the course makes the practice exercises more useful.
Does the course-only purchase include first aid supplies?
No. The $99 course-only purchase includes digital training access only. First aid supplies are sold separately.
I already purchased a SurviveX first aid kit. Do I need to buy the course?
If your kit purchase included the M.A.R.C.H. course, check the email associated with your order for access instructions. Contact SurviveX support if you cannot find them.
Does this replace calling 911 or professional treatment?
No. Call 911 for serious injuries and follow the dispatcher’s instructions. The course is intended to improve first-aid preparedness while professional help is on the way.
