EP38: Save Your Own Skin ↣ Stories From Dennis McKiver, A Pararescue Specialist¹
Dennis McKiver is back! This time with more tales of close-calls and near-misses.
Along with the usual smorgasbord of stories, we have underlying theme of Self-Rescue tips too... It's perhaps obvious but pushing a rescue button might not always be the best or quickest way to get yourself out of trouble. Some training, skills and smart thinking could help save your skin.
given the medical nature of this episode it seems wise to also note that this is the opinion of one highly trained life-saving ex-military life-saving human... and listeners should always take time to get officially educated on best emergency practices for each situation.
