A student recently sent this into WMA! Great picture! New t-shirts coming soon. Look out for them at our online gear store!
I recently went on a retreat with some friends. We went to red river gorge in KY. My friend has his Wildmed shirt on and we took a pic we thought you would appreciate. Thanks for all that you do!

Click here for some great tips on keeping warm this winter! Greg Friese, a Wilderness First Responder and WMA Lead Instructor wrote this article, which you may find very useful as winter has arrived.
One of our WAFAs was in a first year lecture to 150 students at med school. The professor
asked, “When would a loss of consciousness be a survival mechanism?” The students were
silent for a minute, then the WAFA raised his hand.
When the professor called on him, he explained the preservation of the basic “reptilian”
functions and the concept of peeling the onion.
The professor was amazed. He said that this was an excellent explanation, one that he had
not run into, and that he had never run into a first year student who understood it.
