A short story from our founder @jacob__urban
-Who are you responsible for in the backcountry? – – -The items that reside at the bottom of my pack in winter while rarely used are my constant companions and carried for the benefit of myself, group members or others in need. – -My most bestowed item is my tarp. What I often refer to as my most versatile piece of equipment. – – -In the photo, as a TCSAR member I am assisting community members carry out a heart attack patient out of the backcountry. Prior to arriving on scene a former student of our WFR program @will_mook had already administered what was likely a life extending dose of aspirin. When I arrived on scene the patient collapsed in the snow as they were trying to walk him out as he was too fatigued to ski. We quickly wrapped him in warm clothing and laid him in the center of the tarp. We rolled the sides up and carried it like a stretcher over a half mile to an awaiting helicopter. – – -Two very of simple solutions to saving a life. – – -What do you carry for others when traveling in the backcountry?- – Listen to the first person accounts of the rescue.

We spent the weekend with family, camping on my favorite public land piece. While it was an amazing trip, I spent most of the time thinking about the possibility of it getting sold to the highest bidder. When we got back to service and I received word that the sale of public lands had been removed from the Big Beautiful Bill, I felt a huge sigh of relief. These places are too special to belong to anyone but the American public.
👉🏼 How do we keep public lands open and accessible for snowmobilers?
We sit down with @teamampl and discuss everything they’re doing to help keep our wild and free lands open for us.
If you love riding untouched backcountry and don’t want to see more zones shut down, this is must listen.
