Episode 227 - Winter Overnight on Mount Adams, Gray Knob, Mount Jefferson, Treacherous Conditions on Lowes Path

  https://slasrpodcast.com/        Welcome to Episode 227 of the Sounds like a search and rescue podcast. This week our friends Jake and Peter join us to do a shortened episode focused on our recent hike and overnight at the Randolph Mountain Club's Gray Knob cabin. As part of this trip some of the crew climbed Mount Jefferson and came back to the cabin and a couple of us just did the cabin and out. We will share both perspectives. This episode should give anyone who is curious about staying at Gray Knob or Crag Camp and detailed summary for planning your future trip. Plus you should hopefully be entertained, there were a number of sketchy parts of this trip that we will break down to help people understand some of the risks and safety steps you can take when hiking in the Northern Presidentials in late winter when ice becomes the primary feature on the trails.    Join the SLASR Podcast 48 Peaks Team on June 13 to hike Mount Adams   Topics Live Show at Mountain Wanderer Welcome Jake and Peter  Jefferson in Winter and all things Gray Knob Cabin   Show Notes Apple Podcast link for 5 star reviews SLASR Merchandise SLASR LinkTree SLASR's BUYMEACOFFEE Order Hike Safe Card 48 Peaks website Nick's Instagram Check out Episode 208 about the RMC RMC History Donate to the Randolph Mountain Club Sponsors, Friends  and Partners Wild Raven Endurance Coaching burgeonoutdoor.com 48 Peaks - Alzheimer's Association Mount Washington Higher Summits Forecast Hiking Buddies  Vaucluse - Sweat less.

Episode 226 - Stomp is back - Communication in the Wilderness, Welcome Jim Thorsen - Nepal and India, Wonalancet History

https://slasrpodcast.com/      SLASRPodcast@gmail.com  Welcome to Episode 226 of the Sounds Like a Search and Rescue podcast. This week we're joined by Jim Thorsen, who just returned from an incredible trip that took him from trekking in the foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal to nearly a month traveling across India—temples, safaris, a sunrise at the Taj Mahal, tea plantations, Kerala backwaters, and the full sensory overload of cities like Delhi and Mumbai. We're also welcoming back our own Stomp, who returns for a special segment on communication in the wilderness—covering how hikers can better prepare, stay connected when things go sideways, and why good communication is often the difference between a minor problem and a full-blown rescue. Plus we've got a bunch of New Hampshire topics including shoulder-season hiking reminders as the weather warms up but winter refuses to leave, the upcoming live show at the Mountain Wanderer, some political drama around the Fryeburg Fair in Maine, a look at how the Common Man welcome centers somehow turned rest stops into a $25-million operation, maple syrup season ramping up across the Granite State, gear talk including a snowshoe sale and waterproofing strategies, a music minute featuring Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by the Smashing Pumpkins, updates from Dave somewhere down the Appalachian Trail around Neel's Gap, recent hikes, listener shout-outs, and of course a dad joke that probably should have stayed in the notebook.
