Welcome to the sounds like a search and rescue podcast, this week we are joined for our year end episode by our friend and sometimes cohost, Dave or Dave shits in the woods fame. Dave will join me and nick with a year end reflection of all the hiking and adventures we did. Listen up and you can start planning for 2026 hiking and hear about some of the moments that stood out the most to us. Plus some jokes and shenanigans, we have local NH hiking news, recaps of recent hikes on Whaleback, a sunrise hike on Mount Kearsarge and a trip out to Mount Cannon for the December grid. All this and more as we say see ya later to 2025.
Note - we had some audio issues for the last 30 minutes - Nick worked his audio editing magic but just a heads up the audio changes slightly at the end.
