Excellent kit! The biggest problem most people with medical training have is carrying too much. You need to tailor your tools to the job at hand. The most likely scenario is a muscular skeletal or soft tissue injury. Handling those injuries should be your prime concern. The only things I would add would be a eye shield. I would also ensure your rescue kit has a durable space blanket and a breathable bivy sack. The bivy sack can be your survival shelter. The last and most important item is a fire starter to keep you warm in the event your patient is hypothermic or you have to overnight. Most importantly is to learn to use the equipment you are carrying. Nothing worse than not treating a wound because you didn't recognize it or didn't realize you had the tools to treat it.

For meds, how about baby aspirin for heart patients? I don’t have that problem, but I once skied up on a guy who was definitely in trouble 💔

its called duct tape dude. a one stop shop the backcountry first aid.

Good video . Background music could be turned down as a bit intrusive

This guy has good presentation speaking skills.

The Disney Avalanche video shows trees getting thrown through the top of the powder cloud. It was more powerful than anybody imagined it could be.

Love you guys. Im re reading my fav book about avalanche workers. It is surprising how this very practical, and Im sure, for many ignorant people sesmingly "easy" actions need plenty of profound theory. Plus enormous intuition and courage.

great presentation thanks

This past summer I was hiking around the Holy Cross area and saw evidence of a massive avalanche. 50 ft high pine trees ripped right out of the ground for hundreds of yards. I wonder if that happened during this cycle

I work as an avalanche practitioner, but when I’m skiing recreationally I hardly ever use the tools I do in bounds. After falling off a cornice on a control route with an airbag, a backpack full of shots and pro patrollers to back me up I realized it’s a crap shoot even when you’ve been monitoring the same zone every day all season. Much less when touring in a zone that you ski occasionally.

Great video. I don't plan on using any of this information anytime soon, but it's still good to know as much as possible about staying safe out there.

hmmm...natural cycles... don't tell the climate change religion

I do not recommend coban in the backcountry as it compresses into a hard ball in your pack. Israli bandage is a better alternative. I also would ditch the triangular bandage. You could can improvise with othe pieces of clothing.

Thank you young man!

Wow! That’s def tragic about what happened to that photographer but what a crazy story. Yeah that avy can be a big one for sure.

Stanley went HUGE that year.

Absolutely great information. Nice job!

if it's blowin' and snowin' you could be carried and buried, for this kind of trouble you need a transceiver, probe and shovel . . .

This is an amazing video, great work.

Great overview. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Would suggest an armband with the decision card/checklist as well.

😳

Love the content! Just a little feedback- making the music a little softer compared to the speaking would be great, it was a bit distracting.

I believe this it the video he mentioned to google: vimeo.com/351249723

This is great! I am building my kit and have a WFR course coming up. The NOLS book didn't cover some of this. Why the trauma sheers and the knife?

Very well said. Thank you for the succinct presentation.

Love the part about partners, woman and guys who are dads, good partners... I have a kid and it's definitely true!! Another one of my favourites is never go first (from Bruce Tremper @ Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain), always happy to give up fresh tracks :)

Some great content for sure but ski cutting while on belay is way safer provided that the anchor is solid and at the right place. A deep persistent slab can pull way back so don't get lured into thinking that your anchor is safe because it is a ways behind the top of the convexity. And yes, ski cutting is not an exact science. No result in a ski cut does not mean it is safe. So dig and test the layers, ideally while on belay. Digging 1 meter deep is usually all what's needed. About the persistent and deep persistent slab problems, one has to be cognisant that these are found "almost" everywhere. Features that slough and slab avalanche frequently like couloirs, are less likely to have these problems. A bulletin covers the area, not every terrain feature. And yes, having two way communication other than yelling and whistles with your ski partners makes things a lot smoother.
