If you happen to be a bystander as an emergency situation takes place, would you rather be the person who just stands by helpless and clueless, or the person who happens to be trained and equipped enough to save the day?   Today we’re talking about saving lives, and we have the perfect person to talk to us about the importance of having the right gear, skills, and training to respond to emergency scenarios.   A little about our guest...   JT Sohr is a 21-year veteran of the wildland fire service with the BLM, USFS, NPS and ODF... He has recently been in the news for making a swift-water rescue save of a 91-year-old man who ran off the road into the Lochsa River in Idaho... His training, gear, and knowledge of the area proved indispensable for this rescue... He believes that these skills (and medical, technical rescue, and other skills) are great to have, and they are a valuable tool to be a master of – because you never know when you'll need them! You can learn more about JT and stay in the loop with what he’s up to by following him on Facebook.   You know the drill...  Stay safe, stay savage...  Enjoy! ..........................
