Managing Misadventure with Moose MutlowCan misadventure be turned into a positive experience? In this episode we are joined by Moose Mutlow who helps us to better understand what misadventure is, and how we can find value in it.Moose has nearly forty years of experience as a guide, outdoor educator, and in Search and Rescue. He has worked around the world from the Kalahari Desert to the Florida Everglades, to Yosemite where he now lives. He is the author of two books and has extensive experience in family liaison and incident command.Key TakeawaysDefining Misadventure: Misadventure is something that doesn't go well but you can end up with a good story to tell afterwards.Misadventure has a range: They can go from being funny stories of bad decisions to catastrophic disasters. It goes without saying that we are trying to avoid the latter as they can be very traumatic.Story telling component: Both adventures and misadventures are defined by the stories that we can tell about them afterwards. Containable misadventures often have much more engaging stories to tell than adventures that go perfectly well.Course correction: Being able to take a step back and look at the situation is often what stops things becoming an epic misadventure.Taking a pause can help us to slow things down so that we can articulate the decision-making process effectively, instead of just getting caught reacting to situations. This can often lead to worse outcomes.Reasons for misadventure: People underestimate the challenge and overestimate their ability and fail to plan and prepare ahead.Keep people in the Challenge Zone: You have your best gains when you operate just outside your comfort zone. Taking people right the edge of the extreme is counterproductive and is rarely that beneficial. Instead, we should be trying to put people in what I call the challenge zone which is where we feel excitement, but we aren't so overwhelmed that we develop tunnel vision and are gripped with stress.Managing Misadventure: Realize when people are stressed, own mistakes that are made and draw attention to lessons learned along the way and try to keep it fun. Careful use of humour can be a useful tool on this last point.Guest BioMoose Mutlow has nearly 4 decades of traditional and alternative education experience around the globe.

Moose Mutlow is a member of the Yosemite Search and Rescue, the Senior Projects Director for planning, design, and construction of the National Environmental Science Center at Naturebridge in Yosemite National Park, and has spent a lifetime learning and teaching outdoor skills. He has quite a unique background which is why he's able to have the perspective he has on the outdoors and our community as a whole.When I first spoke with Moose and asked him what he'd been most passionate about lately, he told me it was the idea that the outdoor community has become too quick and too eager to shame those who make mistakes outdoors. Rather than practicing compassion and allowing that person to tell their story so we can learn from it, there's a desire to make that person feel bad about the situation they got themselves into which ultimately isolates newcomers to the outdoors and creates a void amongst the community. As a member of SAR, Moose has seen a bad turn to worse and he believes there are things we can learn from these situations if we're simply willing to stop talking and just listen. As you'll hear, Moose has a big heart for people. He wants the very best for them and he wants to strengthen the outdoor community in any way possible. We also discuss the delicate balancing act between adventure and danger and the importance of recording personal stories and then TELLING those stories so that others may learn.All in all, this is a wonderful chat with a really great person who I'm grateful to have on the show. It was a pleasure getting to know Moose and I'm just glad to know there are people like him out there in the world trying to do good things.

Hold on to your hat for this episode with Moose!  Moose Mutlow is an adventurer, author, educator and rescuer.  Since 2002 Moose has been a member and senior trainer of Yosemite Search and Rescue.  He is also the Lead Trainer for Family Liaison Officers for the National Park Service.  Moose gives us an uncensored view of what life is like inside the world of search and rescue.  As Moose puts it, “In search and rescue you inherit someone else's crisis, and you must choreograph the response.”  Having been on the front line of around 60 deaths in the last 10 years, Moose explains how he must approach his job.  “You have to break things down to determine what you can and cannot do.”As a Family Liaison Officer, Moose is the conduit between family and rescuers gathering information in both directions.  He explains that when you are giving bad news, it is never going to come out right.  He must be compassionate to those who are grieving and honor the memory of the deceased.  There is no roadmap to grief.  Crisis scrambles your brain and trauma is the thing that stops you from living your life the way you want it to be.  Moose can be reached through his website www.moosemutlow.com or via email at moosemutlow@gmail.com.Warning: this podcast contains graphic discussions on death in the outdoors and direct conversations regarding human recovery operations.

More than three years ago, I wrote a blog about safety in the outdoors. It is a very important topic for us outdoors people and I feel like I haven't talked about it nearly often enough. Therefore I welcomed the opportunity to talk with Moose Mutlow who is a senior trainer for Yosemite Search and Rescue. As it happens, Moose just published his new book “When Accidents Happen: Managing Crisis Communication as a Family Liaison Officer.”Moose has an impressive resume of outdoor experiences and has been involved in traditional and alternative education for over 30 years.

Nicks Bio   Nick was raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina before moving with his family to Miami, Florida. An interest in photography drew him to San Francisco where he attended art school. In California he discovered an interest in climbing and ultimately split time between the bay area and Yosemite in order become a professional climbing guide and work for Yosemite Search and Rescue. Nick set world records for speed ascents and completed many first ascents on alpine routes. An alpinist at heart, he has traveled across the globe to places like Baffin Island, the Himalayas and the Alps to pursue his passion.   Nick is driven by an evidence based approach to the sport of fitness. He is interested in designing sport-specific coaching and training programs using data collection and testing assessments.
