In this episode, I share an intense story of dealing with a suprise medical condition during a backcountry hut trip in Colorado. I walk through the diagnostic process, treatment options, and the importance of preparation for stays in remote places. Essential medications and tools needed for handling such emergencies in remote settings are discussed, along with advice on how to prepare for future expeditions.
