Backcountry safety with Anna from Summit County Rescue Group

Hiking and outdoor recreation can be dangerous but there are simple ways to lessen the risks.  Anna volunteers with the Summit County Rescue Group, one of the teams tasked with finding backcountry recreationists when things go bad.  We talk about tips on how to stay safe, warning signs of danger, and the fact that many of the teams that are coming to help you are volunteers.  If you like to recreate in the outdoors this is one podcast you don't want to miss. Anna wasn't able to have video for the podcast because she was just too busy but the information is so important I had to put the video together to make sure that people have the information.  Some more information that we talk about in the hike can be found here:

If you travel in the backcountry or no someone who does please take a few minutes to listen to the podcast and please share and send it to someone to help keep them safe!  I have been on about 200 hikes in the backcountry and I still learned a ton from talking with Anna!  #hiking #outdoors #safety #outdoorsafety #nature #adventure #explore #backcountry #backcountrysafety #podcast #interview
