Podcasts about hiking safety

It may come as a surprise, but most plants aren't very friendly. Like most creatures, they survive by defending themselves against predators, parasites, and pathogens. Some have developed quite extreme defence mechanisms, and they are subject of this episode.

Who knows better what could go wrong while hiking in a national park than the people whose job it is to rescue hikers? That's why we connected with a national park ranger to hear first-hand tips about hiking safety. In this episode, we interview Sara Shoemaker, a law enforcement ranger at Canyonlands National Park (Needles District) in southern Utah.   For several years, we've exchanged emails with Sara, and we recently met her while visiting her park. It was then we cooked up the idea to have her be a guest on The Dear Bob and Sue Podcast to share practical advice on staying safe while on the trail. Hopefully, you'll pick up an idea or two from Sara that will help make your future hiking adventures enjoyable and safe.   We start the episode by briefly reviewing the ten essentials of hiking and sharing a few stories about our near-dangerous encounters while hiking when we were not fully prepared for what we encountered on the trail.   A link to a blog post about the hiking ten essentials: ·     Washington Trails Association Ten Essentials   The best way to support our podcast is to become a member of our Patreon account.

I got to talk with Chelsey McHale, a fellow member of The Compassionate Friends (TCF) support group that I attend. After her brother Clint died while out mountain hiking, Chelsey actually started a TCF sibling support group in her town, AND managed to get new safety signage put up where Clint died in order to help make sure future accidents can be avoided, while also having a spot to visit and honer her brother.  We talk the stupid things people say, how to create healthy boundries with difficult family members, and the importance of staying true to ourselves when no one else seems to acknowledge the struggle that dealing with loss brings.

Don't be a statistic! Hiking is an amazing way to experience and explore the world. There are so many beautiful places to see! And, most of all, hiking is the perfect way disconnect from the world and become inundated with your senses. However, too many people fail to prepare for the "What if" and the worst case scenarios. You will never find us conducting a hike without proper gear. We always over pack; extra snacks and water is the bare minimum. We also ensure we have some medical supplies. We do this for EVERY hike. Many people may call us "paranoid" or "weird", but the reality of the situation is, you never know what can happen. What if you fall and break and leg, an ankle or worse and you can't get out of the area you are in? Or, what if you stumble upon someone who needs help? Being prepared is not only safe for you, but you can help others potentially! In this episode we discuss some of the things we routinely see while out in the wilderness and on hikes that we think is just a big mistake and how you can be better prepared for whatever the world throws at you! 

Gearing up for memorial day weekend, many of us I am sure are itching to get outside and maybe take a hike... As we continue our coverage of Be Ready, UT -- let's walk through some safety tips for hiking so you are fully prepared going into the weekend.Sgt.

We all love a good hike but should always pay close attention to our safety on the trail. Arizona's summertime desert temps can soar over 100 degrees, and most of us just aren't made to hike on that type of heat! This doesn't mean that desert dwellers should abandon their hiking passion all together, but there are a certain set of hiking safety guidelines they should follow to stay safe on the trail! Check out this short episode and then go over to our website to learn more about staying safe on the trails this summer.

Nancy East of Hope and Feather Travels Blog shares her adventures living with the mountains in her backyard. She's a certified Naturalist through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Tremont Institute, a Search and Rescue Volunteer and shares her wilderness safety knowledge with fellow hikers through holding classes (both virtual and in the field!) and her blog posts. After 25 years of hiking in the Smokies, Nancy recently completed her map of hiking all the official trails becoming a member of the 900 Miler Club. As a way to give back to the park that she has loved so much, she is doing the Tour De LeConte challenge and raising money for Trails Forever Program and Friends of the Smokies who are rehabilitating one of the trails up to the LeConte Summit (Trillium Gap). This challenge is close to 45 miles and over 11,000 feet of elevation gain in 24 hours where Nancy will hike all the trails that lead to the LeConte summit.
