Trevor Fairweather is a Fernie Firefighter, Search and Rescue Manager, and Guide at Fernie Wilderness Adventures.

We all have our own ways of maintaining balance and reducing chaos in the backcountry. Trevor walks me through how their structure has been a success on how they keep that chaos in check, as well as what happens when the initial plan doesn't work out, and how we all need to adopt a form of Stoicism into our mindset.
