Shoulder Dislocations in the Wild: Kayaking, Kit, and Critical Decisions

Shoulder Dislocations in the Wild: Kayaking, Kit, and Critical Decisions

In this episode of the World Extreme Medicine Podcast, WEM's Sarah Spelsberg is joined by emergency physician and seasoned kayaker Robert Knopp to explore what happens when outdoor adventure meets unexpected injury.

Together, they dive into shoulder dislocations in the wilderness; from real-life field reductions to improvised rescue gear, and what every paddler or outdoor leader should know before they head out.

Whether you're a medical professional, adventure athlete, or just someone who likes to play in wild places, this episode brings practical insight and powerful storytelling that could one day make all the difference.


Topics include:

  • Self-reduction techniques like the Davos method
  • Kit hacks using rock climbing gear and Flex Seal
  • Risk assessment and when not to relocate
  • Kayaker culture, shoulder-saving technique, and field stories from the river


Listen, learn, and maybe rethink what’s in your first aid kit.
