Sounds Like A Search And Rescue Podcast

https://slasrpodcast.com/

Welcome to the Sounds Like a Search and Rescue Podcast! Also known as SLASR. Join an experienced search and rescue volunteer and his friend as they discuss all things related to hiking and search and rescue in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

This week we are wrapping up the year with a visit by Steve from Reklis, I think this guest invite is mostly a scheme by Stomp to obtain some free beer before christmas but Steve will also update us on the latest with his work at Reklis, his hiking exploits and we will talk about his podcast - Fantasy Pants. In addition to this fine content we will be traveling to the great state of Arkansas to cover a story about a hiking group leader who was charged with running an illegal guide service. I’ll detail the story and get Steve and Stomp’s opinions on every angle of this one. All that and some recent search and rescue news

NOTE: WE REFERENCED BRAD THOMAS NAME INCORRECTLY A FEW TIMES IN THE ARKANSAS ILLEGAL GUIDE SEGMENT. APOLOGIES FOR THE MISTAKE.
