Meet Rob Condella- Rob Condella has been flying Paramotors since January 2020 where he trained with Epic Paramotor down in Cancun, Mexico. Before starting his training Rob never saw a paramotor in person but he knew it was something that he would really enjoy doing. Before flying Paramotors, mountain biking consumed most of his time and energy traveling all over the country for the best riding locations. After several years of riding he was looking for a new sport to learn and challenge himself with. Paramotoring ended up being the perfect choice. After leaving training he was hooked and spent has much time in the air as possible. Flying has allowed him to see countless beautiful locations inside the United States along with flying in Morocco, France, England, and Iceland. His current paramotor setup is a Parajet Maverick with a moster 185 and a 18m BGD Luna 2 glider. Rob quit his engineering job in September of 2022 and is currently on what he calls a “radical sabbatical” where he's living full-time out of his van flying as much as he can and exploring the country from above and on 2 wheels. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jade-lear/message

In 1982, Nick became the president of Marworth. At at that time he designed it to build a freestanding family residence there of 20 beds. The treatment center had a 72 beds for drug and alcohol treatment. He also designed and opened up an adolescent Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center with 60 beds on Shawnee on the Delaware and Pennsylvania for more with in 1989.

Some of the changes for good, some for ehhhhh, and some driven by technology. . One specific topic we talk about is "Medication Assisted Treatments." And, for lack of a better term, maybe stigmas in Recovery Communities that existed, or fundamental definitions of recovery, that people in the last four decades had to loosen their grip on, and Nick experienced this firsthand of how these became life saving medications, and wider paths to recovery for individuals. We do a kind of a deep dive on MAT, and I learned a lot, that was the point of this podcast to "learn in real time". So I hope you enjoy the discussion. Support the show

Today's guest is https://www.instagram.com/mike.thomas1/ (Mike Thomas) Mike Thomas a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, where he was a 7x All-American swimmer and a member of Cal Berkeley's 2019 NCAA National Championship Swim Team when the Cal Bears defeated the University of Texas Longhorns. Growing up, Mike attended Hatboro Horsham High School outside of Philadelphia, where he broke the National 100m Backstroke record during his junior year and was one of the top swim recruits in the nation coming out of high school.  After an impressive 4 year swim career at Cal Berkeley, where he also competed at the Olympic trials, Mike Thomas traded diving into the swimming pool for jumping into wild fires. Mike began training to become a wildland firefighter for Cal Fire. And soon found himself on the front lines battling some of the largest wildfires in California State history. Mike and I discuss what it's like to be on the front lines of historic wildfires, his training to become a Swiftwater and flood rescue technician and his current job of paramedic. Mike and I also get into what he calls the toughest challenge he ever faced, the untimely death of his dad who was diagnosed and battled with leukemia during his junior year at Berkeley. Man, that's got to be really hard. Mike and I also discuss the importance of establishing a nighttime routine that sets your next day up for success, the book that most influenced his life and why hard work and humility are the trademarks of a champion. At 24 years old, Mike is the youngest guest we've had on the podcast and one of the most impressive. You can't help but be impressed and motivated after you speak with him. It's remarkable how he tackles the obstacles life throws at him and the tenacity and focus he attacks the goals he places in front of him.

I'm extremely excited about this episode of The Kayak Nerds! Alan Cammack and I interview our good friend Tommy Gram.  Tommy played a large part in my growth as a paddler, from teaching my Swiftwater class and kayak instructor course this last year to introducing me to the sport way back in 2016! Check out this episode for some serious but not so serious talk on river accidents, safety, and review. Tommy teaches both whitewater kayaking and backcountry skiing courses. I find his vast experiences fascinating and excellent to learn from. He co-owns Buena Vista Mountain Adventures and has a whitewater kayaking business called Whitewater Attainment. 

I wanted to get her on the podcast as a tribute to her and her many accomplishments both on and off the water.

In the Seasonal lifestyle, the ultimate goal is to get paid to do what you love in incredible locations. During this episode, I ask Dave to describe the best day possible on the mountain and he crafts this snowy paradise in which he's...working. I knew I had come to the right person. Dave is a backcountry ski guide, instructor, and educator, he holds similar roles in whitewater and swiftwater, he guides climbing, mountain bike, and hiking. As he says, 'everything but fishing'. In this episode, we talk about how to know when exactly you're ski mountaineering, hanging up his stick in lacrosse to pursue the outdoors, and which sport he is deathly afraid of right now(but on course to conquering).

We talk about our most recent big scenario where we staged an MVI with 4 live actors. We also get into some of our Swiftwater training as well as our new Tender WHO WE ARE As a group of Rural Volunteer Firefighters, our Fire Department has built our firefighter training from both old and new tactics in the fire service and adapted them to fit the realities of equipment, manpower, and costs around what our community requires. WHAT WE DO We create video, audio and written word content to share these training and tactics methods with our Brothers and Sisters in our extended fire families, and to showcase to those that may be interested in becoming firefighters the fun you can have and the amazing skills and abilities you get to learn, whilst keeping the lives of the people around you safe! WHY WE SHARE Firefighters are problem solvers whose role requires them to be on their best day whilst others are having their worst day, and while we do not claim to be perfect we are willing to put our lives on the line to try. It's during the trying that we continue to develop the mindset, tactics, and training that allow us to be effective, safe and successful where it's needed the most, and by sharing our experiences we hope that it may help other Fire Departments in creating what works for them to help bring everyone home safe.

Swiftwater rescues are among the most dangerous that you will face. That may sound obvious, but some departments that haven't seen many swiftwater incidents have been taken by surprise. Out west, we have unique situations where dry riverbeds or washes accumulate trash and broken branches for months before they turn into raging rivers during the wet seasons. But no matter where you work, there are some principles of water rescue that simply should not be ignored or downplayed. Here to talk about them is Kevin Keith.Kevin is a Captain and Paramedic at Prescott Arizona Fire. He's been on the job for nearly 20 years. He's a swiftwater rescue expert as well as a technical rescue technician. Support this podcast

Swiftwater was one of the interesting characters in history. He earned a fortune by mining in the Klondike, blew it all, and ended up murdered in Peru. All the way, he married several women, including two sisters and courted a third. It seems women would forever be his undoing.

La disciplina de rescate acuático en aguas en movimiento se conoce en inglés como "swiftwater rescue". El término nace del hecho de que el agua en una pendiente se mueve cuesta abajo, adquiriendo cada vez más velocidad. Según su velocidad aumenta, su fuerza se multiplica exponencialmente. NFPA 1670 El estándar de la NFPA 1670 (descargue aquí la edición del 2014) establece 3 niveles de adiestramiento: concientización (awareness), operaciones y técnico. El nivel técnico es el nivel que incluye los rescates cuerpo a cuerpo, los cuales son parte del espectro de actividades de alto riesgo. El nivel de operaciones incluye las operaciones en bote. Ante el riesgo de que la persona pueda caer al agua, el nivel de operaciones incluye las maniobras de auto-rescate. Toda persona que esté operando dentro de los 10' del borde del agua debe tener como mínimo un casco y salvavidas puesto y debe saber cómo auto-rescatarse si cae al agua. El nivel de awareness provee un conocimiento general de lo que implica un rescate en aguas en movimiento. El objetivo es que puedan anticipar ciertos peligros y asegurarse que algunos elementos de seguridad siempre se cumplen a la hora de intentar un rescate en aguas en movimiento. #1 KISS - Mantenga la operación simple. Mientras más complejo sea el rescate, más fácil es que un simple error se convierta en una catástrofe. https://youtu.be/aflnYbN8D0E #2 Siempre sea proactivo(a). El mejor rescate es el que no hay que hacer. Si usted no tiene que salir durante una tormenta, no lo haga. Si usted vive en un área inundable, no espere a que el agua amenace su vida para decidir acudir a un refugio. La excusa más común es que "este río nunca en mi vida había subido tanto". En toda jurisdicción hay lugares específicos donde en el pasado han ocurrido incidentes. Analice el lugar cuando no está inundado y vea si hay algún obstáculo peligroso que no se ve cuando está inundado. https://youtu.be/rq4aOZ8ivu8 #3 El orden de prioridades es primero el auto-rescate, luego el rescate de sus compañeros, y en tercer lugar la víctima. Muchas fatalidades han sido, y lamentablemente seguirán siendo, personas que intentaban realizar un rescate. Cometieron algunos de los errores descritos en esta lista (por ejemplo, amarrarse una soga al cuerpo), y pagaron con su vida. Si el líder o rescatista más experimentado del equipo decide que no se va a intentar un rescate, en ese momento está poniendo la seguridad e integridad del equipo por encima de la víctima y es posible que sea la decisión correcta. https://youtu.be/Sj-sVYmFBAc #4 SIEMPRE use un dispositivo de flotación personal (salvavidas). Cada vez que ocurren inundaciones vemos videos en la televisión que muestran a personas en la escena sin el equipo de seguridad. Si usted está a cargo del incidente, establezca un perímetro y no permita que personas sin equipo de seguridad esté a menos de 10' del borde del agua. No es aceptable que personal de las agencias de respuesta no tengan al menos un salvavidas tipo III. Si usted pertenece a una unidad de rescate en aguas en movimiento (swiftwater), entonces es posible que a usted le convenga un salvavidas tipo V. https://youtu.be/sXeo_02nyqc #5 Siempre use el equipo apropiado. Suena intuitivo, pero suena muy común aplicar destrezas de otras disciplinas de la MISMA manera. La disciplina de swiftwater rescue se creó de la mezcla de conocimientos, técnicas y destrezas de diferentes disciplinas pero no fue una aplicación literal de cada una de ellas, sino una adaptación de las destrezas aplicadas. Un trágico ejemplo de esto es el uso de equipo de buceo recreacional. La segunda etapa del regulador está diseñada para ser activada al ser presionada. Precisamente, si el buzo está mirando río arriba dentro del agua, la presión del agua puede presionar la segunda etapa haciendo que el regulador se vaya en fuga libre. #6 No use un casco de bomberos en rescate acuático Entre usar un caso de bomberos y no usar un casco, es más seguro no usar un casco. El casco de bombero no está diseñado para drenar el agua, lo que dificulta o imposibilita que el operador se mantenga fuera del agua. La forma del casco puede hacer que se hiperextienda el cuello cuando la presión del agua lo golpea por la parte de atrás. #7 Siempre coloque a observadores de seguridad río arriba a ambos lados del río. Las crecidas de río se llevan escombros de las orillas del río. Algunos escombros grandes como troncos de árboles, y otros objetos grandes, pueden ser peligrosos y/o mortales si golpean a alguien a alta velocidad. Otro peligro potencial es una inundación repentina ("golpe de agua" o flash flood). Los rescates usualmente ocurren bajo inundaciones y días lluviosos. Si está lloviendo río arriba, puede fácilmente bajar otra inundación repentina y llevarse al personal río abajo. La(s) persona(s) río arriba deben tener comunicación con el personal que está en la orilla más cercana a donde se está realizando el operativo para alertar de cualquier peligro inminente. #8 Siempre tenga respaldos río abajo. Si la corriente de agua se lleva a alguien río abajo, los respaldos ("backups") deben poder realizar el rescate. Las opciones de rescate siguen siendo de menor a mayor riesgo: alcanzar, tirar un throwbag, bote, un nadador, o helicóptero. #9 Siempre tenga un plan de respaldo. Como mencionado antes, mientras más simple es una operación, más segura es. De igual manera, las opciones se escogen de menor riesgo a mayor riesgo. Todo rescatista en un escenario de swiftwater debe poder lanzar un throwbag, recogerlo y volverlo a lanzar en menos de 20 segundos si se falla el primer tiro. En un buen escenario, el lanzamiento de una soga logra rescatar a la víctima. Pero un buen equipo de rescate debe tener un segundo plan, que puede ser lanzar un rescatista al agua para hacer un rescate cuerpo a cuerpo si es necesario y las condiciones lo permiten. Siempre tenga un segundo plan si falla el primero y la situación lo amerita y lo permite. #10 Nunca amarre una soga alrededor del rescatista. Las sogas se pueden pillar entre obstáculos, y la presión sobre el cuerpo del rescatador lo único que va a hacer es empujar el cuerpo bajo el agua...¡aún con el salvavidas puesto! Bajo relativamente poca velocidad del agua, la presión sobre el cuerpo puede ser demasiado para poder liberar el nudo. En la historia han habido múltiples rescatistas que han muerto ahogados por estar amarrados a una soga dentro de un río y no poderse soltar o abrir el carabinero (mosquetón). La única excepción a esta regla es cuando se utiliza un salvavidas tipo V los cuales están diseñados para poder soltar el anclaje donde está conectado el carabinero. #11 Nunca tensione una soga en ángulo recto (perpendicular) a la corriente si se va a utilizar para rescate acuático. Un buen método de seguridad río abajo es asegurar una soga a ambos lados del río para que pueda atrapar a cualquier persona que se vaya río abajo. Esta soga se coloca a 45 grados del vector de la corriente. Este ángulo permite que las personas agarradas a la soga puedan deslizarse hacia uno de los dos bancos del río. Cuando la soga está tensionada en ángulo recto al vector de la corriente (perpendicular), cualquier persona que le haga presión a la soga va a formar una "V"en la soga y no va a poder usar la soga para subir hacia el lado que quiera ir. #12 Nunca se pare en el borde interno o río abajo de la soga. Siempre párese río arriba. Aunque los sistemas de sogas pueden ser sumamente seguros, como siempre, debemos pensar que pueden fallar y empujar a quien esté río abajo hacia el agua. También, los sistemas al ser tensionados, pueden estirar un poco y en ese proceso causar lesiones. #13 Nunca ponga los pies en el fondo del agua si se lo lleva la corriente y trata de nadar. El fondo del agua puede tener obstáculos tales como verjas, carros, vegetación y cualquier objeto que sirva de coladera. El bajar los pies expone a la persona a quedar atrapada. Idealmente la persona debe estar de espadas, mirando hacia abajo, con los pies ligeramente doblados para que la persona pueda defenderse de cualquier obstáculo. #14 No cuente que la víctima va a ayudarlo en el rescate. Habiendo dicho esto, la primera tarea es establecer contacto con la víctima. Este contacto puede ser de forma verbal y a distancia. A veces las víctima se encuentran en lugares relativamente seguros por el momento. Por ejemplo, una víctima que esté en un lugar seguro puede esperar ahí mientras una inundación repentina baja de intensidad y el equipo de rescate puede entrar. Usted puede lograr hacerle llegar a la víctima un salvavidas y puede instruir que se lo ponga en lo que los miembros del equipo de rescate logran llegar. Pero también tiene que entender que las personas bajo altos niveles de estrés pierde la habilidad de destrezas motoras finas. La hipotermia también puede provocar que se pierda la habilidad de destrezas motoras finas. Estos dos factores pueden dificultar que una persona (incluyendo los mismos rescatadores) puedan realizar importantes pasos en el esfuerzo por el rescate (como por ejemplo, agarrar una soga). Tenga respaldos de seguridad río abajo para no perder la víctima. #15 Una vez contacte la víctima, ¡no la pierda! Nuevamente, tenga respaldos de seguridad río abajo para no perder la víctima. Conclusión El adiestramieno apropiado le permite practicar de forma segura. Las prácticas continuas le proveen experiencia. La experiencia le permite tener un buen juicio. Los rescates en aguas en movimiento pueden ser situaciones sumamente peligrosas porque el agua es poderosa. ¡Pero también es predecible! Si usted prevee tener que responder a incidentes donde pueden haber personas en necesidad de rescate, conozca sus limitaciones, aprenda destrezas de sobrevivencia alrededor del río, y conozca lo que implica realizar un rescate en aguas en movimiento.

In this episode, two Jackson Hole boaters recall an epic spring when big water lured them to the Middle Fork of the Salmon River in Idaho. With the traditional boat launch closed, they put in at Marsh Creek, a tributary running fast, cold and choked with woody debris.
