The weather has certainly been a big talking point for a lot of us this week. And it's also the theme of a new exhibition at the McManus Art Gallery and Museum in Dundee. Rachel went to take a look at A Weather Eye along with curator Kirsty Matheson.We hear from Paul Hetherington of charity Buglife about the impact the mild weather before Christmas, and now the very cold weather, is having on our bees. Sadly, it's not great news.A second pair of lynx has been captured after being found near Kingussie in the Cairngorms National Park. Two other lynx, released illegally, were caught in the same area on Thursday. We get the latest from BBC Scotland's Environment, Energy & Rural Affairs Correspondent Kevin Keane.Huntly Nordic and Outdoor Centre in Aberdeenshire is Britain's only purpose-built all-weather facility for cross-country skiing and roller skiing. And since there was a bit of snow on the ground, Mark went along to try his hand at cross-country skiing.We speak live to Donald MacRae, vice chair of Scottish Mountain Rescue about the conditions the teams across the country have been facing so far this year. We also hear advice on heading to the hills at this time of year and how prepared you need to be.Staying in the hills, the Glenmore Visitor Centre and Café near Loch Morlich has had a bit of a facelift in recent weeks. It's now owned by the community, who have big plans for the centre. Rachel went along for a visit to hear about what they've done so far, and what's yet to come.The wintry weather prompted Mark to think about the extreme winter weather of the recent past, including low temperatures in Braemar of -27.2 degrees Celsius.Photographer and Landward presenter Shahbaz Majeed has a new book out which explores Scotland's landscapes from a slightly different perspective. Recently, Rachel caught up with Shahbaz in his home city of Dundee for the Scotland Outdoors podcast. He told Rachel the story of how a rather unexpected request led to him making a name for himself behind the lens.And when Mark visited the Huntly Nordic and Outdoor Centre, he couldn't say no when he was offered the chance to go tubing. The simple pastime of sliding down a hill in an inflatable ring is pretty popular at the centre with kids and big kids too!

Are you caught circling around old habits, stuck in a rut, living your life in passive un-fulfillment,  up against a mountain of resistance and difficulty? It is time to speak to the mountain, as Jesus told us and move out, into the place of the promise. For the Hebrews, it was going to reclaim the land God had promised to Abraham. For us, it is the Abundant Life, Jesus died to give us. Getting up and moving out of the rut fear has dug all around us will require that we first identify the traps that hold us, the lies that we believed that led us to sin. Repentance for believing those lies and surrendering to the guidance of the Holy Spirit that lives inside of us is the first step to defeating the mountains in your life. Join us for words of encouragement and details that will fuel your victory to overcome the mountains in your life.

Thanks so much to Sally Gilson for today's episode. Four months ago, ultra runner and Wild Ginger Running Patreon Sally badly broke her ankle while on a hike in the Lake District to celebrate her 50th birthday. The damage was so bad she had to be stretchered off the hill by Keswick Mountain Rescue. They had to put her foot agonisingly back in place on the hill quickly or she risked losing it altogether. After surgery, two pins and a metal plate, Sally's bone is gradually fusing back together but she is navigating a life without running for a good while. She was aiming for a 100 miler this summer but crewed for her buddy instead. We caught up with Sally to find out more about her accident, her subsequent recovery and how she's coping with being a runner who can't run for possibly a whole year.

Having had a very outdoorsy upbringing in Carmarthenshire in South Wales, Carys Rees decided that she wanted to give something back to the outdoors community. She's certainly doing that - by being a volunteer for the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team, an ambassador for The Ramblers, and encouraging others to explore South Wales through her hiking-route website, This Girl Walks. It's a busy life for someone who lives in a city, Cardiff, and who works in London for part of the week. I spoke to Carys at the Big Retreat festival in Pembrokeshire in front of a live audience and I heard more about what the outdoors means to her, how she fits it into her life, and why she's so keen to spread awareness of the joy of hiking and nature. Don't miss Carys' tips for volunteering in the outdoors and places to hike in South Wales at the end of the episode, as well as a minute of the sounds of nature from my recent holiday to Scotland for a little bit of escapism in your busy day. Carys' episode of The Outdoors Fix is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever else you get your podcasts. It's also embedded below. I hope you enjoy it!

AFR Case Studies Mountain Rescue by Albuquerque Fire Rescue

Pat is a retired Royal Marines Officer who lives in the Peak District with his wife Nicky. His mountaineering career began at school in the mountains of North Wales and since then he has climbed widely, made first ascents and led many expeditions to the Himalayas, Antarctica, North America, Africa and the alps. In 1980 he was awarded the Royal Humane Society Bronze medal for saving the life of a fellow climber on a mountain in India. His career in the Royal Marines was long and varied; he ran the Nigerian Army Jungle Warfare Course and also commanded the Mountain & Arctic Warfare Cadre during Operation Haven, the Kurdish refugee crisis in 1991. He served as an advisor to the Kosovo Liberation Army and his last posting was in the Czech Republic where he commanded the British Military Training Team in Eastern Europe.Pat's outdoor agenda was interrupted in 2018 when he suffered a serious climbing accident, sustained a spinal injury and was diagnosed as an ‘incomplete paraplegic'. At the accident site he was rescued by the Derby Mountain Rescue Team which, although not apparent at the time, was to open another chapter of his life.Pat enjoys Sea kayaking, mountain biking, motor biking, and boating. He is currently the Chairman of the Derby Mountain Rescue Team - the same team that rescued him in 2008. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In 1982, Mountain Rescue volunteer Joe Lentini's life took a profound turn during a daring rescue mission gone wrong. Decades later, the impact of that fateful day continues to echo, not just in Joe's life, but in lives of everyone involved. 

Josephine in her own words:   “I'm a middle aged mother of three. Also, adventurer, rock climber, former Mountain Rescuer, wilderness addict, lover of Nature, doer. Oh, and professional author and award-winning photographer. Many hats, but a common thread of being outdoors, helping people and sharing a love of wild places. Having moved on from the confines of Mountain Rescue, I am on a journey with Mountain Training Association to get qualified so that I can introduce people, and especially women, to the indescribable benefits of outdoor adventure.  Too many women feel that it is beyond them. I want to show that it is not. I love polar adventure and have been to Norway many times and skied across Svalbard on a 9 day expedition.  Mountains, moors, wilderness, old mines and rock faces all vie for my time so that it feels there is never enough!  My mantra is: “Do it now. Life is too short.” I am not one for “ests” the longest/fastest/highest etc. To me, it is all about being there, in that moment. My work as an author and publisher includes the Dartmoor Tors Compendium, the Official Visitor Guide to Dartmoor National Park and the Geology of Dartmoor. I also design unique infographics and poster art about Dartmoor in particular. My photography, when not illustrating books, is photographing architectural properties and interiors. Mainly though, photography is about showing how beautiful and amazing our world is.” *** Don't miss out on the latest episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast, airing every Tuesday at 7am UK time.

The mountain rescue team in Wasdale in the Lake District have recorded their busiest year so far with some of the harshest winter months still to come. The Langdale Ambleside team have also already reached their average annual incident rate - two months before the end of the year. Across the peaks of the UK, Mountain Rescue teams are coming under increasing pressure as visitor numbers soar. Helen Mark meets members of the Wasdale Mountain Rescue team and the Langdale Ambleside team in the Langdale Valley, to find out why they are getting called out so often. Both teams want people to come to the mountains and lakes that they love, but with the right knowledge and respect for a landscape which can be lethal. Certain spots in the lakes have been pictured and shared on social media drawing in more visitors, who may not be prepared for challenging terrain and bad weather. Ross Davidson is a photographer who has begun to question whether the incredible sunsets and sunrises he shares online might be part of the problem. The Mountain Rescue teams love their work and want everyone to enjoy their landscape, but as volunteers giving up their free time to help others, they're questioning whether they can sustain the rapidly increasing call-outs. That's why they, and the celebrated mountaineer Alan Hinkes, are asking hikers and climbers to be "adventure smart" by making sure they have the knowledge, the equipment and the right conditions to make the most of these dramatic landscapes. Produced by Helen Lennard

Today, we've got Brett, a paramedic legend from El Paso County Search and Rescue. The mountains? Tricky business. One moment it's beach weather, the next it's a frigid winter wonderland – and that's in the summer! Know what you're packing; it's not a weekend getaway! And those space blankets? Not the lifesavers you might think. Weight's your enemy up there, but be smart. And remember, it's not just about the med kit; weather's unpredictable, avalanches are sneaky, and a good medic knows that it's not always about the medicine.

Today, we delve into the inspiring story of Dr. Hannah Lock, 33, a British doctor and mountaineer living on the edge of Snowdonia National Park, Wales. With a deep passion for medicine and a love for the mountains, Dr. Lock has embarked on thrilling adventures, led expeditions, and shared her invaluable knowledge of mountain medicine. Join us as we explore her remarkable journey. Raised near the Peak District, Dr. Lock's childhood was filled with outdoor adventures. From hill walking to rock climbing and skiing, she developed a deep connection to the natural world. A pivotal moment in the French Alps introduced her to Alpine mountaineering, sparking a lifelong love for high-altitude environments. Her subsequent expeditions took her across the globe, from the Brazilian Amazon to the Bolivian Andes and the Swiss Alps. Dr. Lock found her true passion in Emergency Medicine. Today, she skilfully balances her work in the ER with mountain medicine teaching and expedition support. She provides medical support for ultra marathon trail events in the UK and has expanded her reach to cover mountain marathons in the Nepal Himalaya. Her true calling lies in supporting groups on remote, high-altitude expeditions, empowering them to push their limits while ensuring their safety. Dr. Hannah Lock's journey as a British doctor and mountaineer exemplifies the power of pursuing one's passions and bridging different worlds. Driven by her love for medicine and the outdoors, Dr. Lock continues to empower others through her invaluable knowledge of mountain medicine. Her story inspires us to merge our passions, conquer new heights, and make a positive impact in our chosen fields. *** Don't miss out on the latest episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast, released every Tuesday at 7am UK time!

Louise Robertson has her own business in North Wales where she teaches first aid to people in the outdoors, works with Mountain Rescue, and facilitates a variety of outdoor pursuits... but this hasn't always been the case.

Here, Lou talks about playing small, how covid changed things, how her confidence grew and what she's been able to achieve since she changed her nos to yeses and silenced the voice in her head that told her otherwise. This is a hugely inspiring podcast- give it a listen.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Shawn Rowland, a Hawaiian physician who stepped onto the frontlines of the intense Lahaina fire disaster. Dr. Rowland, a board-certified Family Medicine physician and the founder of Jase Medical, brings a unique perspective to the challenges of disaster response. With a background that spans rural and critical access hospitals, as well as international medical work in Mexico and across the United States, Dr. Rowland's experiences are both diverse and impactful. However, it's his involvement in search and rescue that truly sets him apart. Starting with his EMT days at the University of Utah, where he served for six years with the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Search and Rescue Team, he's honed skills that range from Mountain Rescue to Swift Water Rescue. Currently residing on the tranquil north shore of Oahu, Hawaii, alongside his family, Dr. Rowland's insights into the Lahaina fire disaster are both personal and professional. Join us as we explore his journey through the chaos, his unwavering commitment to saving lives, and the unique challenges that come with responding to a disaster of this magnitude. Tune in for a compelling conversation that sheds light on the experiences of medical professionals who stand strong on the frontlines when their community needs them the most.

Rachel Stewart hears from women in the Tayside Mountain Rescue Team

For 75 years, Seattle Mountain Rescue has relied on a constellation of volunteers and a mixed bag of resources to help lost hikers and injured adventurers. As King County has exponentially grown, the demand for Mountain Rescue services has too. Now, for the first time, the non-profit will have a base of operations in North Bend.

Every seller is going to fall into a slump on occasion. The leads dry up, the calls stop, and the panic sets in. This week, Hamish recounts a story about how he needed to be rescued from a mountain lake, and what we can apply from that experience to coaching our sellers. What You'll Learn:  How to spot a seller who's entering "Panic Mode." When to remind the seller of the difference between effective activities and comfortable activities. How to illuminate which activities are effective. Why you cannot "rescue" your sellers, and why they need to save themselves. How to identify the warning signs so a dip doesn't become a slump. Coaching your sales teams to get themselves out of a slump is critical to your role as a sales leader. And, if your sales organization needs a little rescue, give us a call.   Resources: When you need to hire top sales professionals, turn to a recruiting partner that speaks sales.

In this episode we review the available evidence, and the pros and cons, of using mechanical CPR devices like the LUCAS or Autopulse for ski patrol and mountain rescue applications. Episode links:CPR With a Lucas Device - An example video from EMS trainingViglino et. al. - Outcomes of On-Hill Cardiac Arrests - More saves, probably because of younger patients, bystander CPR, shockable rhythms, and shorter time to defib.WMS Guidelines on the Care of Avalanche Victims - Recommends LUCAS use for prolonged transports and extrications.Putzer et. al. - LUCAS in Simulated Helicopter Rescue"Physical strain during a realistic alpine rescue mission scenario at high altitude led to a significant reduction in quality of resuscitation.

In this episode, Will Duffin is joined by Ffyon Davies, a fellow extreme medic, to discuss her most memorable moments in the field. They delve into her experiences in Mountain Rescue and as an Expedition Medic on Mount Kilimanjaro, which is considered one of the most challenging roles in the field. The conversation covers a range of topics including team dynamics, leadership, casualty management, wilderness fracture management, and more. They also explore how to tackle the unique challenges of expedition medical care such as preventing water from freezing at high altitudes and managing a spread-out group. Other important aspects discussed include understanding one's limits, vulnerability modeling, the significance of having a trusted colleague to confide in, and coping when one is struggling at altitude while others in the group need treatment. The episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice for anyone interested in extreme medicine. About Ffyon: Ffyon is an ED Registrar based in North Wales. Usually found either outdoors, at work or both, she is currently a clinical fellow in ED, ICU and PHEM (working with EMRTS Air Ambulance) at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd.

Created by Mari Feher, Hosted by Ania WiktoroviczIn July of 2022 Jaden Stewart of  Gallatin County Sheriff SAR in Montana, Karel Kaiser and their partner set out to summit Mt Rainier in the state of Washington via the Ptarmigan Ridge route. As they started out from their high camp in 30+ miles /hour wind, they noticed a lone headlamp from the party ahead of them giving off SOS signals. At this point, the team knew there would be no summit bid in their day as the terrain became increasingly dire with truck size boulders coming loose as they happened  upon  a climber with a crushed leg. The saga of their 24 plus hour rescue complete with a Chinook and aided by their Inreach and medical training is fascinating to say the least.
