Why your mission should be legacy…

I owe a lot of who I am to those who guided, inspired, and challenged my curiosity, ambition, and purpose in my youth.

After following shiny things, getting lost and adventuring on several continents, serving in the Army, becoming a doctor, and learning how to survive alone in the wilderness, it’s my turn to pay it forward.

There is nothing more exciting to me right now than the possibility of sharing my stories, knowledge, skills, and love for the outdoors with my kids.

I have made a blueprint of everything that I have learned about survival and medicine and I want to share it with you and your families!

I will be announcing my newest online course in the coming weeks and I will be giving you all free access to the first module to learn how to survive your first 24h in the wild!

I’ll also be hosting Live Q&A’s sessions and spots are limited.

One of the biggest mistakes I see when people use splints is:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not forming the malleable splint in a “C” or “T” mold (most rigid) before applying it to a broken or sprained limb.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These splints and similar models are an incredibly lightweight metal surrounded by foam and are reusable.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They make great sit pads and fire fans and I typically carry 1-2 on all my longer trips to ensure I have a quick way to stabilize a fracture.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ll be hosting a series of free survival lessons to celebrate the launch of my new online Survival Medicine course!

I just did this on my last shift...​​​​​​​​​
Have you ever played with that squishy plastic filled with water from the dollar store?

Well, if you can imagine squeezing it with one fist and using your other hand to gentle add pressure, you can get a feel of what it's like reducing (putting back in) a hernia!

Hernias can happen in your belly button, in your groin, and sc***um and can be very painful.

If you are not able to reduce it, you should always go to the ER because if it becomes strangulated and the bowel dies, you will lose that portion of your intestine.

Remember, this is gentle continuous pressure, and you can gentle apply pressure along the edge as you feel part of the bowel (or fat) slip back into the abdomen. As part of the bowel slips in, have your hand take up that space with pressure and slowly work around the remaining bulge.

Hope this helps!

Missing my best bud... he was 15 years old when​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​this was taken. This was our last big trip together, a day canoe trip. And even with his arthritis, he was happy to jump into the boat and go on an adventure.

Just like carrying multiple fire starting tools and navigation and signalling backups, I also like carrying multiple ways to purify my water.

My go to are this ultra lightweight sawyer filter that fits onto any standard water bottle and my titanium canteen, which comes in a carrying cup.

I'll be teaching people how to survive up to 2 weeks on my next online Survival Medicine course and you can learn how to survive the first 24 hours for free!

Just be one of the first to sign up at: www.survivenow.online/frontier

See you on Zoom later this month!

This happened to my grandpa, don't let it happen to yours...​​​​​​​​​
My grandpa fell just from sitting and it was enough to cause a massive bleed inside his head.

The problem with aging is that we often lose our brain volumes and when the brain gets smaller but the blood vessels surrounding the brain are still tethered to the inside of the skull, it doesn't take a lot of force to shear those blood vessels.

Waiting for symptoms may be fatal, especially when they lose consciousness or have changes in their pupils.

Stay safe out there and take care of each other!
