It can be hard to train #wildmed in the city, so sometimes you gotta get creative.

My forest sit-spot at 8,900 feet. I've been working on improving my cardio at elevation so I can do better at wilderness training:)
#smallwins #wildmed
Committed myself to improving my cardio & endurance at higher altitude after feeling like I was going to die this past weekend while doing an endurance hike for search & rescue training. #sar #taos #wildmed #outdoormedic
Here is a #wildmed tip for ski patrol. How to do you cross skis to warn skiers when the snow is too hard to put tips in. @nationalskipatrol.bsky.social #EMSsky
Search and rescue training for helicopter rescues of critically injured persons this past weekend. Adrenaline filled day, and so cool to watch the helicopter come in so close!

Powering through the process of making individual plant extracts, mixing formulas, pouring them into bottles, labeling, sealing, wrapping, boxing and shipping this week's orders in the apothecary!

I was nervous about working with the radios during search and rescue training, so I asked to run Base during the January winter training. Now I feel so much more confident about my radio etiquette!

I've been working 4-5 days a week in the herbal apothecary, & very comfortable with multifractional extraction processing.
In February, I'll focus more on herbal first aid formulas that go into our field first aid kits. Tune in for what's next!

A selfie of a woman with a floral face covering, blue glacier glasses, purple wide brim sun hat, teal microdown jacket and black carhart overalls sitting in a deck chair in front of a red fibre glass melon building
The circular window of the red fibreglass melon hit, a blue deck chair on rocky ground overlooking an Australian and Canadian flag with washing stung up between the poles. In the background a yellow polar dome tent, and the sea ice
Reading “Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow” while sitting in a camp chair in the lee of the medical melon
Outfit is UV protection on this beautiful -4C slightly breezy sunshine day in the Bunger Hills
Yes, that is my laundry between the flags

Ski season is coming. Remember options for improvising snow goggles if you get caught out in a survival situation. Snow blindness is no fun (UV corneal burns). (Pic from military survival manual). #wildmed @willmd911.bsky.social
On the right hand side are bright coloured red and green cordura rectangular bags - these are remote first aid kits. Next to them are an assortment of cardboard boxes and black nally bins This is kit to be organised and packed
In the back are big black space cases, in front of them are beige space cases with boxes on them. This is medical kit waiting to go to the deep field
The unseen but critical aspect of wilderness and expedition medicine: preparing and packing your kit before you go
No matter how large or small trip, prior preparation determines your success and safety
