🌲 “Off the Grid, On the Job: Interpreting Outdoors”

Wanda (hearing), Sam (Deaf) and I talk about what it take. to be an interpreter in the wilderness? From camps and conservation projects to climbing walls and multi-day trips, outdoor interpreting demands more than language skills.

In this episode, we dive into:

• What outdoor interpreting can look like

• Unique demands and settings (hiking, boats, climbing, biking)

• Boundaries, safety, and teamwork on multi-day trips

• Self-care when the work is physically and mentally demanding
