Summary

Chris Adams is a flight nurse who knows what it means to be ready when seconds count. In this conversation, Dan and Chris dig into what hunters often overlook when it comes to backcountry safety and medical preparedness. Chris shares the story behind developing a field-ready med kit built for hunters, the essential skills you should have before heading into the mountains, and why preparation is just as important as fitness and gear. This episode blends practical backcountry advice with life-saving insights from someone who’s been on the front lines when everything is on the line. @elkshape @rileystaton24 💢 Discount Codes 💢   BORN PRIMITIVE OUTDOOR - 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠⁠⁠ PEAX EQUIP - 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠⁠⁠ CANVAS CUTTER - 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠⁠⁠ WILDERNESS ATHLETE | 20% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠⁠⁠ VORTEX WEAR | 20% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠ BLACK OVIS | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠ SHEEPFEET | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠ onXhunt ELITE Membership | 20% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠ Basekamp Quarter Pad | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠ CrossOver Symmetry | 20% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠ Stealth Cam | 20% Off Code (non-cellular): ⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE20⁠⁠⁠⁠ MAGVIEW | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠ MY MEDIC | 10% Off Code: ⁠⁠⁠⁠elkshape⁠⁠⁠⁠ DARK ENERGY | 10% Off CODE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE⁠⁠⁠⁠ GORUCK | LINK TO ⁠⁠⁠⁠SHOP⁠⁠⁠⁠ BLACK RIFLE COFFEE | 20% OFF CODE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠ELKSHAPE20⁠⁠⁠⁠   🚨Video Production🚨 A CAM - ⁠⁠⁠⁠SONY A1 BODY⁠⁠⁠⁠ B CAM - ⁠⁠⁠⁠SONY A7 IV W/KIT LENS⁠⁠⁠⁠ SONY ⁠⁠⁠⁠LONG LENS 70-200MM⁠⁠⁠⁠ WIRELESS ⁠⁠⁠⁠DJI MIC 2⁠⁠⁠⁠ STUDIO LENS ⁠⁠⁠⁠24-70MM ⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠DJI DRONE ⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠DJI ACTION 4⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
