Episode 242 - Stomp is back! Welcome Chris and Joe from Project Insulnation, SAR News

Welcome to episode 242 of the sounds like a search and rescue podcast. This week, Nick is out hiking with our friend Dave on his AT journey so Stomp is back to cohost. We will catch up with all things Stomp and he is going to share some recent updates on virtual hiking technology. We have a segment with Chris and Joe from Project Insulnation - Project InsulNation creates life-changing, community-driven adventures designed to inspire bold living, build deep connection, and prove that nothing is off-limits with the right support for adults with Type 1 Diabetes. Chris and Joe are avid hikers and outdoor adventures so they will share their own stories about growing up with Type 1 diabetes and share resources and options for any listeners who might be interested in their organization. All this and Stomp will talk about cool developments in the world of virtual reality using hiking as the primary user experience, Stomp has all the details. Recent rescues in the whites, including rescues from The Link on Mt. Jefferson, a rescue on Mount Adams near Gray Knob, and a long Twinway carry out.

Correction - Stomp mentioned Bald Mountain and Mike referenced this was on the 52 WAV list. Stomp was referencing Bald Mountain, not Bald Peak. Bald Peak is on the 52WAV, Bald Mountain is next to Artist Bluff - two separate summits.
