Really excited to have Harrison Brickman teaching with us again this season. He brings a ton of real experience from his work with Bellingham Mountain Rescue and years in backcountry rescue, but what we love most is how he connects with students.

People like Nick have told us they left feeling way more confident and prepared for whatever comes up out there. Harrison just has this way of making everything practical and accessible—no intimidation, just solid skills you can actually use.

Still have some spots open for this season’s WFR courses if you’re interested. Link in bio.

This guide outlines the top 3 critical steps for coordinating an emergency response and SAR, along with vital information to have on hand.Remember: Practice your emergency protocols, carry the right gear, and always communicate your plans. Your preparation is your strongest asset in the face of an emergency.

Ever get so caught up in the views you forget to watch your step? Yeah, we’ve faced-it too. A rolled ankle, a scraped knee—part of the adventure, but preventable.

Wilderness aid skills help turn those missteps into manageable moments. Knowing how to stabilize an injury or make smart decisions in the backcountry can keep a small incident from becoming a serious problem.

Stay present, stay prepared, and save the stumbles for the stories.

We've all felt that overwhelming heat before, but do you know when it crosses the line from uncomfortable to dangerous? Heat exhaustion is way more common than most people realize, and honestly, it can sneak up on you faster than you'd think.

What is Heat Exhaustion?
Heat exhaustion happens when your body overheats from high temperatures or intense activity, overwhelming its ability to cool down. It’s a dangerous warning sign before heat stroke, often triggered by severe dehydration or loss of salt.

Initial Response: The Four Key Steps
Start with the basics - get them to rest immediately, move to a cool environment, begin hydration with small sips of water, and elevate their legs to improve circulation.

Cooling the Body: Three Effective Methods
Use convection by removing tight clothing and creating airflow with fans. Try conduction by moving them to a cooler surface, if the ground floor is hot, place an insulated pad underneath. Apply evaporative cooling through water immersion, misting, or wet towels on the skin.

Monitor and Recovery
Keep a close eye on their condition and remember that recovery takes time. Avoid returning to physical activity for 24-48 hours if possible. If symptoms continue to worsen or don't improve with treatment, it's time to seek emergency medical care.

Here's practical information that could help a friend, family member, or even yourself during hot weather. Save this post and share it with others who spend time outdoors or work in hot conditions.

For outdoor professionals like Eli, wilderness medicine training isn't just about personal development - it's about the safety and well-being of everyone they guide into remote environments.

Altitude Sickness: Field Treatment Essentials

What is altitude sickness?
Altitude sickness occurs due to reduced oxygen supply at high elevations. While the oxygen concentration in the air stays constant, the air pressure decreases as altitude rises. As a result, each breath contains fewer oxygen molecules, leading to insufficient oxygen intake.

Assess & Treat:
• Identify symptoms- Headache, fatigue, nausea, dizziness
• Check mental status and coordination
• Rule out pre-existing conditions, and prior drug and alcohol intake
• Minimize exertion. Document time and current elevation
• Prepare to descend or evacuate

Evacuate - Based on Level of Symptoms:
• Mild: Monitor and descend if symptoms worsen
• Moderate: Descend minimum 1,000-2,000 feet (300-600 meters) immediately
• Severe: Emergency evacuation - call for rescue, relay coordinates and direction of plan, then continue descent

Whether you're heading to Rainier, Baker, or any Cascade peak, reviewing these fundamentals can make the difference in your mountain experience.

Remote Medical Training

Remote Medical Training is designed around organizations and communities of individuals working & playing in remote and wilderness environments. These groups may or may not have access to equipment, technological capabilities and medical protocols. By providing the necessary education and skills to individuals & communities who can assist in emergency situations we give them the confidence to prepare to safely operate in challenging and remote environments. Our goal is to give them the confidence that their medical needs will be taken care of in the case of an emergency.
