About this episode
In this podcast, we look into the real-life challenges of recognizing and managing heart emergencies in remote environments. Out here, symptoms don’t wait, and time is not on your side. A heart attack in the backcountry isn’t just a medical emergency — it’s a logistical one. Rapid evacuation can mean the difference between life and death, but it starts with knowing what to look for, how to act fast, and how to prepare before you even lace up your boots.Whether you’re a wilderness guide, avid hiker, or someone who just loves the solitude of remote trails, this show is your lifeline to lifesaving knowledge.
