A bothy bag is one of the most underrated pieces of wilderness safety equipment you can carry! We don't say that lightly ⛺️

Lightweight and compact, it provides instant shelter from wind, rain and cold, helping protect against exposure and hypothermia while you assess, treat, or wait for help. Used by mountain rescue teams worldwide, a bothy bag can turn a bad situation into a manageable one.

Small enough to carry. Important enough to save a life.

Not all CPD courses are created equal.
Some involve hotel conference rooms, stale coffee, and hours of PowerPoint slides…

This one’s a little different.

Welcome to Wilderness Rescue Medicine – Marine NZ with RescueMED and - an immersive training experience for medical professionals wanting hands-on skills in remote, wilderness and austere medicine.

Over 5 days, you’ll train in real-world environments, travel by helicopter into remote Tamatea/Dusky Sounds, live aboard an expedition vessel for the week, and learn medicine far beyond the hospital walls. But what makes this course unforgettable isn’t just the training. People come for the medicine… but leave with something much deeper.

Somewhere between the mountains, the ocean, the slower pace, and being disconnected from the constant noise of everyday life, and resuss bays something shifts. You reconnect - with yourself, your environment, and the people around you.

It becomes more than a course. It becomes a reset.

A chance to step away from the rush and return feeling refreshed, grounded, and ready to tackle your world again, but with new knowledge and skills in remote and wilderness medicine.

It’s hard to explain.
It’s something you have to experience.

Turns out “remote medicine training” is a lot less sitting in classrooms… and a lot more carrying stretchers, cold hands, physical scenarios and questionable weather choices 🌧️⛰️

Hard work? Absolutely.
Worth it? Every single time.

So… have you watched Apex yet? 👀

Now, while we can’t promise a Hollywood-level thriller through actual Apex country in the Blue Mountains like in the film:

Think:
🧗 Abseiling down epic rock faces
💦 Swimming through fresh mountain waterways
🌿 Exploring canyons
🩺 Learning real-world wilderness medicine + rescue skills
📚 Gaining valuable CPD hours in immersive environment training
🎬 All while channeling your inner Sasha

Basically, it’s like starring in your own survival thriller… except with expert medical and rope instructors, good vibes, and a significantly higher survival rate.

Netflix made the Blue Mountains look wild.
We’ll take you straight into it.
Main character energy is mandatory. 🎥🔥

Ready to trade your couch for canyon walls this October?
