Navigating Overwhelm and Hyper-Rationality in Emergencies

Deb Ajango is a world-class wilderness medicine and risk management educator. Deb's teaching is so effective (as recognized by several national awards) because she combines her extensive experience with brain science—an understanding of how our brains learn, respond, and are best prepared for emergencies. Deb talks about how the brain works, what ideal training looks like, and how best to prepare for emergencies. This recording is from a guest presentation in the Start & End at Home course—wilderness risk management and trip planning.
