About Medics & Radios
Medics & Radios is a post-apocalyptic Live Action Role Play game that uses free online training courses and live events to teach real-world survival and outdoor skills.
Medics & Radios is free to join and our online courses and upcoming Field Manual and Task Books are free to download and use.
How Medics & Radios Works
Medics & Radios structure is built on FEMA’s Incident Command System, just like every real emergency services agency in the US. FEMA’s free courses, IS 100: Introduction to ICS and IS 700: Introduction to the National Incident Management System are easy and quick to complete and provide a basic understanding of NIMS and ICS.
Medics & Radios uses free online training from FEMA and the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) and other agencies, which gives Medics & Radios LARP’ers some of the exact same training as US law enforcement, EMT’s and firefighters.
Boy Scout Merit Badge Standards
Medics & Radios is not involved with Scouting and all our courses and events are for adults only (18+), but the courses are developed to merit badge standards because it provides a consistent goal that any adult should be able to reach.
The first aid techniques in the First Aid merit badge are all the first aid there is, for instance. Anything more complex than Boy Scout first aid is officially called pre-hospital care.
Using merit badge standards gives everyone involved a consistent goal.
Medics & Radios Basic Course
The Medics & Radios Basic Course meets the BSA merit badge qualifications for First Aid, Radio and Rifle Shooting.
Our monthly drills will draw from Hiking, Orienteering, Geocaching, Backpacking, Camping, Emergency Preparedness, Wilderness Survival and Search & Rescue.
FEMA IS 100, 200, 700 and 800 are free online certifications required by every emergency services and law enforcement agency in the US and the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) has free online Wildland Firefighter courses, which are the basic academic training for Wildland Firefighters.
The Medics & Radios Basic Course is 3 merit badge equivalencies plus enough FEMA and NWCG training to roleplay functioning as a wildland firefighter.
