This week, we bring you a fun story of two hikers - Jessica and Fran who experienced trouble on Franconia Ridge - this one is from the perspective that we don't often think about when talk about hiking - the once a year hiker going out for a fun day of nature mostly unaware of how best to prepare for a challenging day in the mountains. This story turns out okay but it is a lesson in how small decisions can build up and create the potential for big problems. Plus we have an angry mother nature - road closures, washouts, raging rivers, and major flooding across New Hampshire and Maine - the great flood of 2023 this week has wreaked havoc in the Whites and beyond. All this and a Volcano eruption in Iceland, Wolves in Colorado, Lord of the Rings, A recent hike retraces the steps of Darby Field in the Montalban Range and recent search and rescue news

This week we are joined by the dynamic duo of Rebecca and Danielle to talk about their recent completion of the White Mountain Redline / Trace. This challenge entails hiking every trail in the white mountain guide and is a feat that very few people complete.  They have both been working on their redlines independently for a number of years and have now completed their goals. We are going to ask them to reflect on their accomplishments and go  through planning, logistics, struggles, and the triumph of completing what many consider to be the most challenging goal in the White Mountains. In addition we will talk about an incoming storm to hit later next weekend, a lost dog story, what happens when your parachute does not open, more gear reviews, House of Dragons, in our beer drinking segment a deep dive on Artificial Intelligence helping to make IPAs, notable hikes all over the whites,

Welcome to Episode 131 of the Sounds like a search and rescue podcast. This week we are joined by Ken Lindbloom from Texas Search and Rescue. Ken is a volunteer with TexSAR and has a background in emergency and disaster management, His particular area of interest is medical care for working K9 dogs. Ken has done two separate research projects on K9 operational medicine and is joining us tonight to explain the who, what, why, and how of developing a formal prehospital medical program for SAR K9s. To put this simply - when rescue dogs need medical help - how do SAR teams get enough medical training to make sure the dogs are treated until they can get to a medical facility. In addition to the K9 segment we will be ranking the AMC Huts, recapping our recent live episode at Reklis, we have follow ups on eye protection, a story about spite houses, a story about a very loyal jack russell terrier, recent hikes on the Belknaps, Kinsmans, a bushwhack on Mt.

Continuing our focus of pointing west, I'll have a hiking recap of a recent trip to Mount Greylock which will include some history and tips for planning a trip out to the berkshires. All this plus Stomp hikes the Watcher and Eaglet, What is in Mrs. Stomps backpack? We snoop in her pack while she is out of town, snow predictions for this winter, when Elk attack, are survival hiking sticks the next big thing and Mr. Beast tries to do a good thing and it goes terribly wrong.
