Hands-on training is essential to learning and remembering lifesaving skills. While many skills can be learned online, practicing in person does not have a digital substitute. If you're running rivers, you expect your guides to have hands-on experience in swiftwater rescue and rowing. If you're outfitting backcountry hunts, you're not going to hire a guide or cook whose only experience is from reading the internet. DMM believes the same should be true for first aid skills that could make a big difference for the outcome of an injury or illness suffered by one of your clients or fellow guides. Through hands-on practice and an engaging classroom experience, Desert Mountain Medicine courses deliver skills to assess and treat common injuries and illnesses in remote locations that lack definitive care. Whether you work in the outdoors as a professional, lead outings with your local education group, or live or recreate in the backcountry, we have a course that fits your needs. At DMM we pride ourselves on adapting our course to fit your group's needs. Our WFA for Hunters and Anglers is a 2 day training that focuses on the injuries people think of when hunting and fishing such as gunshot wounds and impaled hooks, as well as many less obvious injuries and illnesses that pose equal threat. This training will teach you to recognize and treat your fishing client's changed disposition, perhaps signaling an unexpected cardiac or diabetic emergency. Want to give your guides some practice with your company's emergency protocols? We can easily incorporate those into a custom training. Our courses exceed the wilderness medicine industry standards of 16 hour of in-person training for Wilderness First Aid and 45 hours in-person hours for a Wilderness First Responder certification. All DMM trainings include CPR/AED certification, as well as Wilderness Anaphylaxis Training.

THE ONLINE PLATFORM FOR THE OUTFITTING INDUSTRY. “We live for this” isn’t just our tagline. It’s the way millions of outdoor sporting enthusiasts think everytime they grab their gear and step foot into the wild for their next adventure. It’s the response from passionate guides when asked why they often endure grueling working conditions to deliver results for their customers. And it’s why hardworking outfitters forego a typical 9-5 job to establish their offices on mountainsides and riversides. Guidefitter is the online community for the outfitting industry, bringing together sportspersons, guides, outfitters, and the organizations and brands that serve them. We are the destination for consumers seeking and sharing guided adventures of a lifetime. And we provide the marketing and business platform for outfitters, helping them connect to an engaged audience of sporting enthusiasts and equipping them with cloud-based and mobile apps to better manage their business.

It was August of 2002, and we’d been hunting sheep in the Mackenzie Mountains of the Northwest Territories for eight brutal days. I thought I was in marathon shape. I signed up for the merciless exhaustion knowing how tough it would be...but I didn’t count on my boots letting me down, forcing me to quit. That’s when I knew we had to design and build boots that could keep up with the barbarous conditions we mountain hunters subject ourselves to. Since then, we’ve continually and brutally beat up our boots in the field, brought them back to the shop, and added new design features on the spot. And it’s worked so well, we brought up all of our boots, packs, socks... everything we offer, we put to the sheep hunter’s test. So it doesn’t matter if you hunt like we do, hike, or enjoy backpacking up to a mountain lake... having the owners of our company out there practically killing themselves to test everything, guarantees that from the boots on up, Kenetrek will never let you down.

Swan Mountain Consulting Group can be best described as a boutique consulting firm with a virtual workforce. We are specifically designed with a very low overhead so that we do not have to increase rates beyond what the typical outfitting, adventure, outdoor recreation or eco-tourism company can afford. Once we assess the needs and specific projects to address the issues identified of the client, we draw on either our own collective skills and/or assemble a team by accessing the network of resources that we have been developed as a virtual workforce. Our network consists of personal contacts that we have developed over the years that have content or topical expertise. The vast majority of our work is small projects and consultations. Sometimes, owners of outfits, eco-tourism, outdoor recreation or adventure travel companies just need an experienced “mentor” to confer with. We particularly enjoy playing this role as we believe it truly adds value. If companies could afford the time and expense of having a board of directors that add insight and counsel to management they would. But the owner/managed nature of the outfitting industry and often overwhelming seasonal structure of the industry simply prohibit it. Having a confidant/counselor to tap into on an as needed basis adds not only value when needed, but controls cost.
