What’s the biggest challenge you’ve ever had to overcome on an adventure? Was it a mechanical problem with a vehicle, did someone get hurt, where there challenging weather conditions, trouble with the locals or maybe you were forced to reroute because of trail conditions or a closure? My recent trip to Nevada was full of these types of challenges and more. Join me as I take you along to some incredible remote off-the grid locations in a state that I’ve come to love more and more every time I visit it, Nevada.

We were out on a Dual Sport motorcycle ride back in 2015. New Idrea, CA... about 50 miles south of Hollister CA. (Clear Creek area). Our group came upon a small rattler in the middle of the road. So they wanted to stop and look at it. One guy decided to poke it with a short stick. "Wham", it bit him on the thumb. What you get for being stupid. It was not a dry bite. We had to backtrack to Hollister on our motorcycles. No cell coverage. Over an hour ride. Then the medical center in Hollister did not have fresh anti venom. So he got an ambulance ride to Stanford Medical Center, another two hours total. He ended up almost losing his hand...

The "locked gate" situation seems to be getting more prominent all the time. My wife and I have run into this on a number of occasions here in AZ. Please mark that locked gate on your mapping and make it public so others don't get surprised. Great video Brad, thanks for bringing us along!!

The railroad owns the property along this section of Nevada. There is a similar locked gate along the rail line between Moapa and road along the railroad that goes to Caliente.

There's a tail report feature in OnX you can use to let everyone know about the locked gate. I would drop a waypoint there as well with a picture of the locked gate and some notes about it.

I'm teaching mountain bike wilderness first aid this weekend so I've been thinking about a simple framework for laypeople. Here is my working one. 1. Pause and assess if the problem is small/medium/large AND are you safe to begin your intervention. Check scene and PPE. Then: Small=chill/think/protect large=pressure/tourniquet/breath/compress-911/heli, Medium=ensure it does not become large

Brad, I live in Mesquite NV and travel all the dirt roads and trails with my Jeep and RZR. I am happy to see you come and visit this great area. There is not much wildlife around here but there are Bighorn Sheep around and in the Valley of Fire State Park. Thanks for the emphasis on First Aid awareness, that is something that is very helpful. The click click click noise is more than likely the solenoid that engages the front 4 wheel drive, I have a Ram 3500 that has had the same thing happen. The fix is to simply engage and then disengage the 4 wheel drive with the knob and it goes away. It seems to happen when I am in a situation that generates a lot of engine heat. Hope that helps.

Everytime we go out wheeling first aid kit is always checked and also dont forget about the dogs they need a kit also that includes some benadryl. Ive had my own dog and several friends dogs get stung in the face by yelliw jackets while drinking their water . Its a part of camping to be over prepared in first aid and keep kits for ouselves and friends and also our furry companions out there. Plus keeping a nurse wife is also very handy.

Back in the late 90’s when I was going through paramedic school, I volunteered to be a patient for national registry practicals. I learned a lot, as well as feared for my life about how poorly I was treated as a patient. I don’t think anyone passed my station with flying colors. I wish I could remember what my ailments were, but it was some basic trauma.

@montechie 3 ай бұрын

Great way to educate! Mixing the aid scenarios into the regular overland content is a great idea. As a WiFR (Wilderness First Responder), a suggestion, have the person giving aid talk through what they are thinking as they assess the situation in order to inform the viewer better, I'm sure you guys are experienced and do some stuff naturally. Example, in the first, scene assessment is always the first step, where's the snake now? Don't want the responder to become another victim and it's natural for inexperienced helpers to jump in before assessing danger. In the 2nd scenario, it was important the victim was already doing a good job keeping pressure on his wound, and if it wasn't fake blood, definitely wear gloves or a makeshift fluid barrier (sandwich bag) if you're going to touch the wound area. Don't want to bring blood pathogens home. For overlanding there's also different considerations if you are not in a "front country" situation, ie a paramedics or an acute care facility within the hour. For example, that snake bite should definitely be disinfected if it was even a little remote. Again, great video and hope to see more! Looking forward to the JT aid build

Your advice will be priceless…keep it coming!

The medical info is nice for most people to see especially those that spend time in the outdoors. Just saw a video breakdown on a vehicle recovery that went wrong and could've been much worse than it was. Guy was air med evaced (possibly didn't need attention that fast) he had facial and neck injuries when a recovery point failed and sent a kinetic rope through his windshield. It's just me talking but the acting may not be needed but it may grab some attention of those that needed it. Hope to make into Nevada soon. I have a Southwest trip the end of this month through New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado.

Something that may be useful is talk about first aid that is destination specific. Where is your trip going, and what are the specific first aid concerns that you might need to consider, especially if the area is outside your usual region. On your first aid kit, something that the market is missing right now is an easy way to replenish perishables. Many first aid kits come with small packs of disinfectant wipes, pain relief medications, etc, and all those things have expiration dates. Most of us will go through years of travel without digging into those supplies, or using them very slowly: it’d be great if there was a quick and easy way to order just the pills for a kit, or just the bandaids, or whatever so we aren’t ordering a whole new kit every couple years just so we can have convenient packages of aspirin again.
