EMSOTM 43 - Moose Mutlow

This week we are speaking with Moose Mutlow (see Bio below). Most of our discussion revolves around how to engage and work with the family members of those individuals we are seeking to find and rescue, we also talk about provider resiliency and mental health, topics not always discussed on the wilderness side of emergency response.

Moose has nearly 4 decades of traditional and alternative education experience around the globe. He has course directed 58-day Outward Bound instructor trainings in Appalachia, been a deputy headmaster in the Kalahari Desert, managed a beach concession on the Mediterranean, slogged through Australian rain forests with middle school students, juggled as a street performer in too many cities to mention, has more than 2000 days of field instruction in a wilderness setting, spent four months as the Interim Head for an elite ski academy, and returned to Outward Bound to instruct a canoe program for Veterans on the Gulf of Mexico.

Since 2002 Moose has been a member and senior trainer of Yosemite Search and Rescue, working as a technician and within Incident Command, at one of the busiest SAR operations in the world. He is a Rescue 3 Agency Instructor and a Lead Family Liaison Officer trainer for NPS.
