Welcome to the Sounds Like a Search and Rescue Podcast! Also known as SLASR. Join an experienced search and rescue volunteer and his friend as they discuss all things related to hiking and search and rescue in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
This week we are doing a segment on the history of Laconia and the Lakes Region. We are also dusting off our winter gear list and sharing our advice on Snowshoes, Spikes, Crampons, Boots, Backpacks and all the associated clothes needed for winter hiking. We’ve covered some of this before but will do a recap for those of you thinking about getting into winter hiking.
