The 10 hours is of instruction. We are required to give breaks every 90 mins or so, lunch breaks, etc, and the test is not supposed to take up the 10 hours of instruction... so the classes always take longer than the 10 hours.
We do field carries, safe handling practicum, etc. We *DO* talk about chokes, and how they work. We *may* do live fire if we have a facility that allows it. We will do blood trails. We are planning to try to get road-kill deer for field-dressing from the highway dept --
We talk about survival, the kit, hypothermia, first aid, etc. We do a VERY LITTLE in orienteering.
We do presentations on turkey hunting and muzzleloading...
Oh -- did I mention we talk very fast? ;-)
Seriously, we always have trouble fitting our class into the requisite 10 hours, and tend to take more like 16 hours (two solid 8 hour days + some at the end).
