WildMedix

WildMedix Over 21 years of emergency care, first aid and rescue training for the wilderness, urban and tactical environments.

The original South African wilderness- and austere environment medicine company. Wild Medix is a young and dynamic South African company dedicated to providing specialized wilderness and event medical support as well as first-aid training for both wilderness and urban situations. Founded and staffed by medical professionals who are also experienced wilderness adventurers - mountaineers, climbers and outdoor guides - Wild Medix is the result of merging a passion for wilderness and emergency care with a love of the great outdoors. We bring together the necessary skills, knowledge, equipment and experience to provide medical care in areas which are inaccessible by conventional means. Furthermore, we believe in empowering wilderness users to care for themselves - and others - by providing both outdoor-focused and urban emergency medical care training and equipment.

Every year, more than 300,000 snake bites occur in sub-Saharan Africa, leading to thousands of deaths and amputations.

Now, scientists at the Danmarks Tekniske Universitet - DTU have developed a recombinant nanobody-based antivenom that protected mice from 17 of 18 deadly snake species found across sub-Saharan Africa—a potential breakthrough in global snakebite treatment.

WildMedix co-founder, medical director and OG was lead instructor on our recent Whitewater & Desert Medicine expedition-style course. He reflects:

“One of the biggest drivers to start WildMedix more than 20 years ago was the lack of any kind of formal wilderness medicine training in Africa. Now I’m able to watch our own Fellows and talented enthusiasts teach and learn together, inspiring a whole new generation of wilderness medics. It’s deeply satisfying that what we’ve grown holds its own space, and the spirit will live on.”

After years of feeling like you are paddling upstream, it must be nice to be able to go with the flow… but someone should just tell him that it’s easier with the boat in the water 😛🛶

𝗜𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗻, 𝗡𝗼 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗜𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴—𝗕𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗜𝘀.

Most gun owners are paper-accurate and street-unready. When chaos hits, it’s not the gear that saves your family—it’s the person you decided to become. That’s identity. That’s Lone Operator.

In Cape Town, we’re calling the ones who won’t outsource their family’s safety:

the Sentinel who sleeps in peace because preparation stands watch,

the Vanguard who steps forward when others step back,

the Stalwart whose calm steadies the room,

the Pathfinder who already knows the way out.

What you’ll forge over 12 months (live, in-person):

✅ Stress-inoculated shooting — turn adrenaline into ex*****on
✅ Close-quarters movement — own hallways, doorways, and tight spaces
✅ Low-light modules — be effective when visibility isn’t
✅ Decision-making under pressure — clear, lawful, repeatable
✅ Mindset & conditioning — composure on demand
