Yet"Five Finger Death Punch, Under and Over It"never gets old.

MEET KARIN POCOCK
Karin Pocock grew up on the west coast of Canada in Steveston, BC a small fishing community on Lulu Island near Vancouver, BC. She spent much of her early life backcountry skiing and mountain biking the North Shore mountains and climbing the granite of Squamish, BC.
Since then, she’s spent most of the past 20 years as a working guide, ski patroller, and avalanche forecaster bouncing between BC, Alberta, and Colorado seeking diverse experiences in work and play. These days Pocock calls Blue River, CO home. She directs professional programs for Silverton Avalanche School and works a fairly full-time schedule as a rock, ski, and mountain bike guide. When not working, you can find her ultra-distance bikepack racing, on trails such as the Colorado Trail, or just enjoying the stillness of the desert after a full day of splitter-crack climbing. She’s always hunting the quiet moments, big skies, good company, and an excellent soundtrack to life.
Pocock is inspiring and embodies a TSO woman, no weak shit. We are stoked to be supporting someone who is committed to teaching the generations after her, she is a Jane of all trades when it comes to guiding. If there is one thing you need to know about her is that she is an utter badass.
Q1: YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO WHILE WEARING 30 SECONDS OUT?
Just about anything. Feeling comfortable and steazy at the same time is what I seek in all activities. From teaching a certification program to chilling after a long ride, I always feel like 30 Seconds Out has me covered.
Q2: WHO OR WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
Anyone who is going full send on life. I think of the perspective shifts that have come from ultra-distance bike racing, my view of what’s uncomfortable has changed. Every time I look at the “no weak shit” sticker on my laptop I think of the first time I rode for 35+ hours and how that caused a paradigm shift. We all have more in us than we think.

Q4: WHAT IS YOUR NEXT GOAL, PERSONALLY OR PROFESSIONALLY?
I’d like to complete the bike-packing Triple Crown in a single year in 2024 or 2025.

MEET JON INGRAM
Jon Ingram was born and raised in Lewisville, North Carolina just outside of Winston-Salem. He is raw and honest when he talks about his life, the lessons learned, and the struggles he has persevered through. There is one thing you can say about the guy, he never quits.
For the last 13 years Jon has been a Firefighter/EMT with multiple different organizations. He worked EMS for 3 years, and then spent 5 years with the Winston-Salem Fire Department before moving and currently working for Kernersville Fire Rescue for the last 5 years. On his days off he also works for Atrium Healthcare - Wake Forest Baptist AirCare and Brenner’s Children’s Hospital. Early on Jon had exposure to the fire department through his father who was a Captain with Winston-Salem Fire Department for 30 years. This exposure would ultimately allow him to see the lifestyle of a firefighter and fueled his passion and pursuit. Early on he knew that serving the public was the life he wanted to embrace. He began teaching CPR and Basic Life Support with his father’s company that aimed at teaching anyone and everyone in methods used to save someone’s life. Since that point he has been an EMT/ CPR Instructor and continued to further his scope of knowledge when it comes to life saving procedures. When he is not on the job, Jon loves the outdoors, CrossFit, shooting guns and taking preparedness classes to constantly stay prepared every day. Being an adrenaline junkie at heart he is always up for the next challenge or adventure, from skydiving to running a 200 mile relay race. His biggest adventure daily is his 5 year old son!
Q1: YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO WHILE WEARING 30 SECONDS OUT?
Being out in the woods, shooting, and improving my skills with firearms. Embracing what it means to pursue the unknown, exercising, my new hobby of overlanding, and building a 4runner. I've been getting out of my comfort zone, growth never comes from inside the comfort zone.
Q2: WHO OR WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
In my line of work, I see many different types of people and disabilities. There are some we come across that just simply choose to give up and let one diagnosis or injury define how they live the rest of their life. It’s the mentality that is spreading across the nation where we as a society allow people to give up, quit, sit down, and not hold each other accountable. The other side to that is the ones I see every day that have every reason to give up and quit but don’t. Those people are the ones that inspire me to never let age or injury prevent me from exploring new things. Society has put a stigma on what is appropriate at this age or what you can do when you have this disease. That’s not the norm, BREAK that and STAND out. My son truly inspires me every day at 5 years old he is the definition of resilient in his short time here, he most certainly drives me to push one more step every day.

Q4: WHAT IS YOUR NEXT GOAL, PERSONALLY OR PROFESSIONALLY?
My goal every day is to be one ounce or one percent better than yesterday. Cliché but true, we try (I try) and “eat the elephant” in one bite and that doesn’t work. Small victories will continue to motivate you and thus motivate the people in your circle. The two bible verses that help define the course of my day every day are: Proverbs 21:17 “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” Meaning, take a look at who you surround yourself with. You become the company you keep, so always keep good company or company that makes you want to be better. The other verse that I embrace is John 15:13 which is actually tattooed on my knuckles. “Greater love hath no man than this, which a man lay down his life for his friends.’’ I reached. out to 30 Seconds Out to try and stand for something bigger than me, a chance to grow with like-minded people. Teach, train, and inform the public and family on how to be prepared and stay safe. There is no greater time than now to take on any of these roles because we are in a crisis in this country. Start small, family is the smallest form of government so start there and then go into the community and train, teach, and inform. The last is up to you, how large do you want to take your message? Statewide, the nation? That’s why I reached out to TSO, and that’s why I use my money to go get trained in things I don’t know much about. Go get trained and bring it back to your family. Professionally I just sat for a promotion here at my fire department for Engineer. I am finishing my degree in Homeland Security at Waldorf University online. I want to grow my skills in the medical field and be able to stock enough supplies or share my knowledge so that people come to me for help or training. Short and sweet, I want to train and teach people how to stay alive and keep others alive in the most austere environments or the backyard BBQ. Whatever platform that'll allow me to do so is where I'll go.
