Sprained Ankle in the Outdoors | I Got Stuck Under the Dog Sled

During our last 4-days dog sledding adventure something happened that I have feared... My foot got stuck under the box of my dog sled while I was driving and flying my drone and it was really painful...
In this video I'll talk about what happened and how I dealt with my sprained ankle.

[@ottobarth3311]

Not exactly according to plan. Good to see you fine again. All the best for you and Stina.

[@3feetunder]

Hi Matti, big luck you didn´t get hurt worse. When I whatched your video some days ago I thought by myself. Man... be careful in what you doing and while movig around in ... who knows ... maybe stressful situations. (and stress takes you nowhere in the bush) And... today it cought me too. Not to bad but painful enought unfortunately. Must be something in the air... Can work and can move but lost some skin so to say. So I whish you all the best and stay healthy...both of you... gonna bring you some coffee soon... maybe, hopefully 😅

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

It’s a split second and something goes wrong… I hope you will heal soon!!! Take care! /Matti

[@bethsangree397]

Ouch, hope you are all better now! Actually, in my experience an ankle sprain will heal faster if you ice, use compression and elevation, and don’t use it at all for 3 or 4 days, just keep moving it gently without weight bearing to keep the circulation going. Then gradually start using it with it taped up during the day as needed for comfort and support. Take the tape off at night to allow circulation to be unrestricted. I really like the elastic tape for this but depending upon the injury sometimes rigid tape is best. Acupuncture is also very helpful for speeding up healing. Of course you don’t always have the option of taking time off so you just do the best you can!

Very interesting & informative video. Warm Regards from far away Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.

[@sybilkent4913]

Oh nooo! That's so scaring. Last time the dog, now you yourself. I'm so sorry! Good health. Krya på dig. Keep strong!

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Don’t be sorry! Be happy that it wasn’t really bad!!!

[@christiankammer2379]

Krya på dig!

[@glenhac5973]

Take turmeric and cayenne pepper tea! Very anti inflammatory! Bonus if it gets cold it's still hot!

[@samhill3496]

Same type injury we ca experience on a motorcycle with as we say hard bags, aluminum or hard plastic.. If your foot gets caught underneath it's a god chance it will be broken. All good tips. Glad it wasn't broken. Got new full right knee Tuesday. Therapy is coming along. tough.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

I want to have a cross motorcycle but Stina says I will kill my self with that kind of ‘toy’. Maybe it’s better I don’t start to drive MC. ;-) /Matti

Hoping you will be hopping soon,... After all,... It is a Leap Year... May your ankle heal well...🙂

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

It’s healing impressively well!!! …luckily! /Matti

[@normanmackenzie8130]

Best advice Marti baby... is bandage as you did...and a good bloody rest, but, as you point out...running a small business as you do with Stina, avoiding accidents has to be at the top of any list otherwise.....time is money ....hellish i know....but true ...Hope you are back on track and not talking shit... ha ha ha...cheers.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Right now I’m out on the trail again. The foot is okay but I still have to take it little bit careful. Otherwise it’s really good it wasn’t worse than it was. /Matti

[@normanmackenzie8130]

Can you tell me who the band is, you use for your incidental video background music. I play along as i watch and they are very good indeed ?@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

It’s music from a platform called Epidemic Sound… /Matti

[@CanadianSledDog]

I just carry paper medical tape for everything from bleeding to blisters to splints. It works in place of so many different products and it's much lighter and cheaper. It's not super sticky and it washes off with water which makes it safe for open wounds and for dogs.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

That’s maybe better?!?! I have to check that. Will it really be as stable as the sports tape? Thanks! /Matti

[@CanadianSledDog]

@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA I don't know for sure if it will be as stable, you'll have to test it! Or hopefully you won't have to test it any time soon! I know it works really good at stopping bleeding, I've tested that lol.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

There is things you don’t want to test… ;-) /Matti

[@218driver]

hope you are better

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Thank you for your support!!! I’m already better. I have used my foot as much as possible without making something that is worse. / Matti

[@christerohman5145]

Tur att det inte var värre än så, lycka till å ha trevliga turer framöver.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Det är väldigt intressant att se hur fort det dels kan gå fel men även hur fort det blir bra om man tar hand om det på rätt sätt. :-) /Matti

[@mercedesaponte6201]

Glad you are doing well. I always think I would like to get paid to work as a guide for backpack, hike, and ski/snowshoe trips. What's you most frustrating aspect of your job?

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

The worst thing with this job is IF you get clients who see the dogs as a tool for their adventure. The dogs is just something they’use’ for their own ego-trip. Most of the guests is NOT like that. Most of the guests love the dogs and are really a team with them. That’s just giving energy. :-) /Matti

Krya på dig!
