Welcome to episode 182 of the Sounds like a search and rescue podcast. This week we are joined by the NH Wild Crew - Nichole and Paul. They are avid white mountain hikers who focus on fun, photography and friends. They are here this week to share some stories, give us some info on their favorite hikes, tips on gear and photography. Plus we give a run down on proposed projects in the White Mountain National Forest including updates on Sawyer River road, Lincoln Woods, Hermit lake shelter and others. Stomp shares a story about Mt. Everest climbers using performance enhancers to increase their odds of finishing, butt sledding accidents, a review of some winter clothes from US Sherpa, a discussion about Snowshoe etiquette and butt sledding safety and a recent close call rescue off the greenleaf trail.
