Moose Mutlow
Moose Mutlow has been fortunate to work in traditional and alternative education in the USA, Australia, Southern Africa and Europe. He has taught high school science in the Kalahari Desert; lead 5th Graders on rainforest expeditions in Australia; managed a beach concession on the Mediterranean; spent a snowy winter in Truckee directing an elite ski academy; busked on the streets, run a T-shirt printing business out of suitcase and accidental got on NPR talking about roadkill.
Moose has been heavily involved in outdoor education for 30 years and has been a Field Instructor, Education Director and Trainer. He spent 25 years working for NatureBridge, an Environmental Education Program in National Parks; managing programs, developing and organizing political demonstration projects in Washington DC and fundraising.
Moose has worked in Yosemite National Park as a Special Project Director responsible for the design & construction of the National Environmental Science Center. He continues to coordinate Yosemite Search and Rescue's Swiftwater Response/Recovery Team and is the Yosemite's Lead Family Liaison Officer. Moose has been an active member of YOSAR since 2003. He is a National Trainer for Family Liaison Officers and Psychological First Aid. He is a Rescue 3 Agency Instructor.
As W-EMT he occasionally got to drive unreasonable fast in emergency vehicles and on snowmobiles. He remains totally confused about rigging for vertical rescue as he struggles with the math and is normally told to simply manage the safety prusiks.
After more than a decade of backpacking with Outward Bound he now has zero interest in thrashing around with a heavy load in rhododendron. Now he prefers to go fast downhill on bicycles and float down rivers on boats. A favorite book remains The Songlines by Bruce Chatwin and he likes to carve big tele-turns to the dulcet tones of Back in Black by ACDC.
