Ripcord Adventure Journal 1.3 Second Edition
We begin this issue with a call to adventure from Bear Grylls' Mission Survive expedition and survival expert Megan Hine which is followed by a filmmaking expedition to the icy desert of Antarctica. Our writers have crossed the Himalaya and have cycled around the world to make sure it is indeed round. We hear of legendary explorer John Rae and venture to Kilimanjaro to witness a high altitude rescue. Brought to you by the crew at World Explorers Bureau and Ripcord Travel Protection

Redpoint’s Stanford Medicine-affiliated physician Avi Patil, who was<br />
also climbing, assisted with critical medical decisions that helped<br />
prevent a bad outcome. “The teamwork and the level of care and<br />
commitment provided to my climbers and me during these recent<br />
evacuations has only further cemented my team’s partnership with<br />
Redpoint and their <strong>Ripcord</strong> Travel Protection program,” Eddie Frank.<br />
“These days I split my time between emergency rooms at both<br />
Stanford and the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center while also serving<br />
as a member of Redpoint’s team, staying on call and making critical<br />
decisions related to medical services and evacuations for our clients.<br />
There is never a dull moment responding to diverse emergencies,” Avi<br />
explains.<br />
