From Yosemite run-ins with the highway patrol to six-foot flames caused by DIY fire starters, this episode covers the real-life risks of venturing into nature and how to prep like a pro... even if you’re just going for “a quick hike.”

Jimmy and Megan talk trail safety, packing tips, camping fails, and how to purify water with everything from iodine tablets to French-press-style filters.

Whether you’re heading into the backcountry or just camping with the kids, we’ve got you covered with gear, guidance, and cautionary tales to help you stay safe outdoors.

Bonus: the bleach-to-water ratio for emergency purification (yep, Megan did the math).

Most people don’t realize how fast someone can bleed out... or how easy it is to stop it (if you know what to do). In this episode, Jimmy and Megan are joined by Miguel for a deep dive into one of the most practical, life-saving skills out there: stopping the bleed.

But don’t expect a boring first aid lecture. We’re talking real talk: how white clothes can trick you, what soaking through a winter jacket really means, and why you should never trust a belt to save a life. You’ll learn how to tell if bleeding is life-threatening, the big mistake people make when they underestimate a “little” wound, and the three tools every responder should know how to use... tune in to find out!

And just wait until you hear what one student did to test how much a pint really is (useless hint: it involved teriyaki sauce and a laptop).

Whether you’ve had Stop the Bleed training or are just curious what all the fuss is about, this episode is packed with street-smart safety tips, hands-on advice, and the kind of stories you’ll definitely want to share at your next team meeting.

When we hit “record” for the first time, we didn’t have a clue what we were doing. We were totally winging it. Honestly? This whole podcast started more like a group text—inside jokes, random stories, and way too much laughing at ourselves.

One year later—57 episodes (63 counting bonus episodes!), countless bloopers, a lot of late-night editing sessions, and more lessons than we ever expected—we’re still here. Still showing up. Still laughing. Still sharing our stories. Still forgetting to hit record sometimes (but hey, we’re human too).

In this special anniversary episode, Jimmy, Jenny, Megan, get together to celebrate everything this wild ride has taught us: the good, the hard, and the downright ridiculous. We’re pulling back the curtain to share:

• The coolest things we’ve learned along the way
• What turned out to be way harder than expected
• The behind-the-scenes chaos that somehow makes everything better
• Plus a bonus round of “Would You Rather” with the extended Life Safety team

The truth is, most podcasts don’t make it past 10 episodes, and over half disappear before they hit their first birthday. Keeping this thing going for a full year has taken heart, grit, stubbornness, a lot of caffeine, and most importantly... you.

From the bottom of our hearts: thank you.

Thank you for being part of this adventure. Thank you for laughing with us, learning with us, and giving this little project a reason to keep going. We’re so glad to have you along for the ride!

Here’s to another year of growing, laughing, messing up, getting back up, and maybe—maybe—hitting record on the first try. 🧡

So buckle up, tune in, and join us for this very special anniversary episode!
