On this episode of Wilderness Medicine Updates, host Patrick Fink shifts focus from the science and literature of wilderness medicine to practical fitness tips for search and rescue personnel, ski patrollers, and outdoor rescuers. Patrick interviews Rob Shaw, founder and head coach of the Mountain Tactical Institute, about his specialized training programs for various types of mountain athletes, including those in industrial and tactical roles. They discuss the nuances of preparing for seasonal work, the distinct fitness demands of ski patrollers versus search and rescue members, and the importance of chassis integrity and mental fitness.
