SGFF February Meeting Announcement!!
I hear you saying, “why is SGFF posing a pic of a bowl of chili?” And scratching your head. Well it’s been cold, and it’s going to get colder next week, so we@are having a chili night! So pull up a chair, grab a bowl and hang out with us on Tuesday night. Special thanks to Craig Hunter for preparing and bring his amazing chili again this year.
As an added bonus, and very fitting given the low on Wednesday is supposed to be 16°🥶🥶, will be talking about cold weather prep.
AJ grew up in Northern Upstate NY at the foothills of the Adirondack mountains where he learned to fish for trout in the spring and hunt for big deer through the fall and winter. He moved to Texas in 1996 and after a long reprieve rediscovered his love of fishing. A certified Texas paramedic, he spent more than ten years as a civilian flight paramedic completing 1500 patient flights. Currently AJ works for the Georgetown Fire Department as a Firefighter Paramedic.
Certified in Wilderness first aid, AJ started running fire and EMS in Northern Upstate NY years ago and learned quickly how unforgiving cold weather and temperatures can be on the human body.
Texan often downplay the effects of cold weather, because they associate hypothermia with below zero temperatures. However, hypothermia can and does occur in moderate temperate climates and can cause a myriad of complications. In his presentation AJ will cover what hypothermia is, how to identify the signs and symptoms, and how to treat and prevent hypothermia.
