Re: In search for a good First Aid course
One thing that I failed to mention - the first responder services are extremely good throughout Israel (...lots of practice) and response times are better than in the US for much of the country. My IFAK is hopefully not needed, but I will not go and stand watching someone bleed-out for lack of very basic supplies and fairly straightforward knowledge.

Re: In search for a good First Aid course
Keep hearing extremely good reviews of all of Caleb's at Lonestar Medic courses. Plan to take one in 2016. 
Had hoped to take before late January (none currently scheduled) due to our travel to Israel and the West Bank areas, where stabbings and gunshots are unfortunately too common. Like occurring every day for the past four months! Have prepared two compact specialized IFAK I'm carrying, each with a SWAT-T TQ (which can be used as a pressure dressing), two Quickclot Sponges, Chest Seal, two pair Purple Nitrile gloves, EMT shears (in RED, not black...since the IDF running to the scene of these incidents tend to shoot anyone holding things that may be mistaken as a knife). These IFAK will fit into jacket pockets - plan to have with me the entire trip. Have NOLS Wilderness First Aid, as well as the Red Cross Basics, CPR, AED, etc. Trying to go in prepared and eyes open.
