Welcome to Sierra Outdoor Skills!
I’m Rex and this is Beanie and we’re escaping from the real world and car camping through the southwest, because that’s where we are. Check the Travel Log to see where we are now.
I’m posting videos about ancient places, interesting sites, various state parks and campgrounds as well as outdoor skills, geocaching, ham radios and whatever else looks interesting.
We’re following the sun and working our way across the southwest. We appreciate the thumbs up and be sure to subscribe to Sierra Outdoor Skills to see where we’ve been lately.

Sequoia Flight School: www.sequoiaflightschool.com
Sequoia Flight School is a Flight Sim Economy virtual flight school for flight simulator enthusiasts. See the links in the upper right corner for the real businesses operating out of Sequoia Field; Q31/D86 in Visalia, CA.
The aircraft proficiency courses at Sequoia Flight School aren’t intended to teach novices to fly real aircraft. Our courses are here to help FSE members develop a deeper skillset and experience with their sim flying.
The Basic Pilot Course is free and open to all FSE members. We start with basic stick and rudder skills in the Piper Cub in Module 1 and then learn the Cessna airframe in Module 2 with the Cessna 172. Module 3 is on the Cessna 182 and you’ll learn more about flying, navigation and weather and Module 4 is about the Business of FSE; how to manage aircraft, make money and manage FBO’s.
Medics & Radios: https://medicsandradios.com
Medics & Radios is a YouTube show about community resiliency and disaster response that promotes emergency management skills through scenario-based training. The goal is to help everyday people learn basic emergency management skills that they can use immediately in their community.
Medics & Radios is based directly on LA CERT’s Neighborhood Teams concept. Medics & Radios has 2 components; the community responders (Team Leaders, Scribes, Responders and Medics & Radio Operators) and Staging Area Staff.
Here’s the NTP Step-by-Step Guide to CERT Staging and Initial Response to a Disaster, the step-by-step plan to our drills.
This online course is for people who are working through the Medics & Radios program and attending our live drills. This course is the classroom part of our program and the drills are where you put what you learn here into practice.
The Medics & Radios online course will show you how to get more training from FEMA, the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG), Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES), Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT), etc. Our goal is help average community members train themselves to BSA merit badge standards in First Aid, Radio and Emergency Preparedness.
