Dr. Robert Kauffman, retired professor of Recreation and Parks Management at Frostburg State University, has developed a series of videos directed to various aspects of outdoor risk management. These videos, some of which are accessible below, are relevant to outdoor activities conducted by Scouting units, and are highly recommended for viewing.

  • Cold, Wet and Alive (an excellent discussion of hypothermia)
  • The Rescue Curve (can you self rescue, or require help?)
  • Heads Up!  River Rescue for River Runners
  • Barrier Analysis
  • Life Jackets Float – Do You?
  • Decide to Return (how decision-making and judgment interplay)
  • Situational Leadership in Outdoor Recreation
  • Practical Accident Prevention Using Barrier Analysis
