Wilderness Advanced EMT and K-9 Medic
Outdoor Vagary
Adventure Medicine
We bring the ER into the wild. With backgrounds in wilderness EMS, K-9 medicine, and disaster deployments, we thrive in places where definitive care is hours—or days—away. For us, adventure medicine is about improvising with what you’ve got, keeping cool under pressure, and delivering care when “911” isn’t an option.
Outdoor Life
Living rurally, we’ve traded city lights for star-filled skies. Our days off are spent hiking ridgelines, tending to trails, and soaking in the silence only the forest can provide. Outdoor life isn’t just a pastime—it’s the foundation that keeps us grounded, balanced, and ready for whatever comes next.
Overland Adventure
Four wheels, endless miles, and no shortage of dirt roads. Our overland trips blend practical expedition skills with a taste for the unknown—hauling gear, solving mechanical surprises, and finding the remote corners of the map most folks only dream of. Every journey is equal parts grit and wonder.
K-9 Medicine
Our medical world extends beyond people. We’ve trained and worked as K-9 medics, treating working dogs and trail companions alike. From splinting a paw in the backcountry to managing heat injuries on deployment, we believe our four-legged partners deserve the same level of care as any teammate.
Dog Training and Raising
The pack is family. Between structured training, problem-solving, and the daily chaos of raising multiple dogs, we’ve built a life around respect, discipline, and play. Our dogs aren’t just pets—they’re partners in work, adventure, and everything in between.
Water Adventure
From mountain streams to open lakes, water is our reset button. We kayak, swim, and wade through the kind of places that test balance, patience, and a love of the elements. Water adventures remind us that sometimes the best medicine is a cold plunge and a quiet current.
Latest Series: In The Moment
The best stories don’t happen indoors. Our blog is where we share the latest from the trail, the ER, and everywhere in between—whether that’s overlanding through the Cascades, training with our dogs in avalanche conditions, or diving into the realities of adventure medicine in the field. It’s part journal, part campfire story, and part survival guide. If you want to follow along as we learn, laugh, and occasionally get snow down our boots, this is where the journey continues

Collection 1
Cooking on the trail isn’t just about eating—it’s about turning a dusty campsite into a place of comfort. From cast-iron meals under the stars to clever one-pot solutions on the road, we believe good food fuels good adventures. Overland cooking is where creativity meets necessity, proving you don’t need a kitchen to eat like kings (or at least like hungry medics who earned it).
Collection 2
Our pack isn’t just for the trail—they’re part of every corner of our lives. From early morning training sessions to late-night couch cuddles, raising and caring for dogs means balancing discipline with play, patience with chaos. Whether we’re teaching obedience on the field, patching up scraped paws in the backcountry, or just managing the daily tornado of fur at home, life with dogs keeps us humble, grounded, and endlessly entertained.

Collection 4
“Listening to Conversational Vagary feels like sitting around a campfire with friends who just happen to be medics, adventurers, and dog lovers. It’s funny, heartfelt, and makes me want to pack a bag and hit the trail.”
“I came for the dog stories, stayed for the medicine-in-the-middle-of-nowhere lessons, and now I don’t miss an episode. Conversational Vagary is adventure in audio form.”
