Legal online sports betting in Wisconsin would have to go through in-state tribal computer servers, under a bi-partisan bill given final okay by the state legislature Tuesday. Chuck Quirmbach reports. Supporters and critics of online sports betting acknowledge it frequently occurs in Wisconsin. Gamblers go through commercial companies like Draft Kings, but the Wisconsin Constitution says most legal betting can only occur on sovereign tribal properties here, regulated by state-tribal gaming compacts. The just-passed bill by the legislature attempts to reinforce that online sports bets in the state must go through the 11 federally recognized tribes in Wisconsin. Shannon Holsey is President of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians. She says the new legislation is good public policy. “It provides clarity, respect to tribal sovereignty, and it strengthens Wisconsin’s long-standing state and tribal partnership. Especially for our tribe and all tribes. It really creates opportunity, while allowing us to grow responsibly, securely and on our own terms.” Holsey says any additional revenue for the Stockbridge-Munsee would go toward funding things like tribal housing, health care and public safety. Remarks opposing the Wisconsin sports betting bill center on what critics like State Sen. Steve Nass (R-WI) say is the possibility of more people becoming addicted to gambling. “Making gambling easier and more accessible online will only accelerate these harms-family breakdown, lost productivity, addiction treatment.” But other supporters of the sports betting bill say more ways to prevent problem gambling could now be negotiated with the tribes. Gov. Tony Evers (D-WI) still has to sign the legislation and the federal government has to approve amended gaming compacts. Pete Kaiser leaving Unalakleet checkpoint. (Courtesy Iditarod Insider) Jessie Holmes was the first musher to reach the end of the 1000-mile trail from Anchorage to Nome, winning his second consecutive Iditarod. KNBA’s Rhonda McBride reports. Four of the race's Indigenous mushers were still out on the trail Wednesday morning. Pete Kaiser (Yup'ik) from Bethel and Ryan Redington (Iñupiat) were finishing up their mandatory eight-hour rest in White Mountain, one of the last two checkpoints in the race. Both former champions were hoping for a repeat, b But Kaiser says his team contracted stomach virus on the trail, so he rested them more to give them time to recover. Kaiser told the Iditarod Insider this changed his focus. “I've been kind of reminiscing and soaking in the sights more than ever, trying to be in the moment more than stressing out about placement and different things like that. So of course it would be fun to be further up, but that's not always in the cards. I've had a good trip.” Kaiser's team is positioned to finish in the top ten. He says the cold dry snow on the Bering Sea Coast was one of the biggest challenges, because it sticks to the sled runners. Redington, who is not far behind Kaiser, told the Iditarod Insider this last stretch of the trail also tested his team. “Hopefully we get a little less wind. If it is windy, I'm going to take a lot more rest.” Ryan Redington talks about the strong Bering Sea winds are slowing his team down. (Courtesy Iditarod Insider) There were also three rookie Indigenous mushers in the race. Jesse Terry, an Anishinaabe from Ontario, is in 16th place and Kevin Hansen, an Iñupiaq from Kotzebue, is in 21st place. Jody Potts-Joseph, a Hän Gwich'in from Eagle Village, who had to contend with bison on the trail, pulled out of the race after her team came down with kennel cough. She said she had to put her team first. Iditarod Trail officials praised her handling of the dogs. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

One of the best books I have ever read; in Cheryl's own words, it is a book about 'hiking and healing in the mountains'.                                             Bio- Floundering in her second career, the one she's always wanted, forty-eight year old Cheryl Suchors resolves that, despite a fear of heights, her mid-life success depends on hiking the highest of the grueling White Mountains in New Hampshire. All forty-eight of them. She endures injuries, novice mistakes, and the heartbreaking loss of a best friend. When breast cancer threatens her own life, she seeks solace and recovery in the wild. Her quest takes ten years. Regardless of the need since childhood to feel successful and in control, climbing teaches her mastery isn't enough and control is often an illusion. Connecting with friends and with nature, Suchors redefines success: she discovers a source of spiritual nourishment, spaces powerful enough to absorb her grief, and joy in the persistence of love and beauty. 48 Peaks inspires us to believe that, no matter what obstacles we face, we too can attain our summits.

DescriptionWhat does it take to build an organic, grain-to-glass distillery in the heart of the White Mountains? In this episode of the Bourbon Lens, we sit down with Chris Burke, co-founder and master distiller of Cathedral Ledge Distillery, to explore the intersection of organic distillation and historic standards.Chris pulls back the curtain on the "Bottled-in-Bond Act" and explains why this 1897 quality standard is the backbone of their production philosophy. We dive into the complexities of organic grain sourcing, the nuances of their mash bills, and how their specific maturation environment in New Hampshire creates a flavor profile you won't find in Kentucky.You'll learn about the technical side of barrel selection, the importance of seasonal labeling, and how Cathedral Ledge is navigating the challenges of direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales and legislation. From the first drop of the hearts to the final tasting notes, this conversation is an essential guide for anyone interested in the transparency, entrepreneurship, and artistry behind modern American whiskey.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Cathedral Ledge Distillery06:13 The Importance of the Bottled-in-Bond Act13:25 Maturation and Barrel Selection in the Northeast18:48 Crafting Unique Whiskey: Mash Bills & Process25:33 Marketing Strategy & Direct-to-Consumer Sales33:17 Tasting Preferences & Favorite Pours

Growing up near Boston, Sugar discovered hiking in her early twenties while exploring the White Mountains of New Hampshire. After getting sober at 30, she found herself with the clarity, time and capacity to pursue the life she truly wanted. What followed was a decision to live authentically, prioritise long-distance hiking, and become what she proudly calls a professional dirtbag. In 2021, Sugar set out on the Appalachian Trail. While she knew she was a strong hiker, she also faced the uncertainty of what it would mean to walk the trail as a trans woman. Feeling the isolation of not seeing many stories like her own pushed her to begin writing, speaking openly, and becoming someone other queer and trans hikers could reach out to. Since then, she has become the first known trans woman to complete the Triple Crown of long-distance hiking, founded TrailQTs – a free mentoring programme supporting first-time queer and trans thru-hikers – and in 2024 pioneered the Divide to Crest Route, a 3,000-mile backcountry journey from the Mexican border in New Mexico to the Canadian border in Washington. In 2025, Sugar set a new women's self-supported speed record on the Appalachian Trail southbound, breaking the previous record by more than a day and a half. In this episode, we dive into sobriety, transition, representation, burnout, post-trail blues, building community, and what it really takes to push the body day after day. Sugar also shares practical advice on training, fuelling on a budget, protecting your feet, and why big dreams are built through small, steady steps. This is a conversation about courage, visibility, and creating the path you wish had existed when you started. *** New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time).

Pavel Cenkl is a climate writer, ultrarunner, and Dean of Academics at Prescott College who has run hundreds of miles across Iceland, Scandinavia, and the Arctic through his project Climate Run. He grew up in the White Mountains, worked the AMC huts, started one of the first collegiate trail running teams in the U.S., and built a master's program combining movement, environmental philosophy, and ecology.  In this conversation, Zoë and Brendan talk with Pavel about what happens when you push yourself to the edge of exhaustion in landscapes that are literally shifting beneath your feet — disappearing glaciers, the vulnerability of being utterly alone in midnight sun, why "resilience over resistance" is a better framework for running and life, and the moment he screamed so loud on day three of his Iceland crossing that he scared a goose into flight and accidentally had a paradigm shift.

In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary experiences of Johnny from the White Mountains of New Hampshire, whose encounters with Bigfoot began after relocating to the rugged terrain within twenty miles of Mount Washington. With a lifelong background in psychic sensitivity and Indigenous Māori traditions, Johnny shares how subtle feelings of being watched along remote forestry roads slowly unfolded into something far more profound.Describing unexplained impacts on his vehicle, strange energy barriers at the edge of ski slopes, and fleeting glimpses of massive gray figures moving through dense timber, Johnny paints a vivid picture of activity deep in the New England wilderness. He recounts moments of apparent telepathic communication, predator-style cloaking effects, and a towering face-to-face sighting of a being estimated between nine and eleven feet tall.Johnny also explores the energetic nature of these forest beings, offering insight into their awareness, intelligence, and presence in the White Mountains region. His detailed testimony raises compelling questions about what may be operating in some of the most iconic landscapes of New Hampshire.Join us as we navigate Johnny's remarkable experiences and the growing mystery surrounding Bigfoot in the Mount Washington area.

Send a textNancy's Boots, Chris's Hiking Obsession, and a Very Awkward Museum Trip

On February 10, 2008, Fred Frederickson and James Osborne started what should have been a routine winter day hike on New Hampshire's Franconia Ridge. Within hours, conditions changed catastrophically—temperatures plummeted to single digits, winds reached seventy miles per hour, and both men were fighting for their lives on an exposed mountain ridge. As night fell and the storm intensified, rescue teams mobilized for a desperate search in some of the most dangerous conditions imaginable. This episode explores the cascade of small decisions that turned a beautiful Sunday hike into a tragedy, and the extraordinary efforts of the rescuers who risked everything to bring them home.

And for a  history segment, we're going way back — we're digging into early Appalachian Mountain Club field meetings and what hiking looked like in the late 1800s when it was very much a group sport, with large organized excursions, committee oversight, and post-hike reporting that sounds nothing like modern hiking culture. All that plus sponsors, donations, stickers, swag, and everything else you've come to expect.

The White Mountains have a special talent for making strong hikers question their life choices, and their mileage math. In this episode, I'm joined by Eli Burakian and Justin Chapman, the brains behind Northeast Trail Adventures, to break down what makes the Northeast so rugged, so beloved, and so different from anywhere else.Sign up for the retreat: https://northeasttrailadventures.com/We dig into Moosilauke as the first true alpine-style summit for northbound AT hikers, the old-school trail design philosophy (straight up, minimal mercy), and the culture shift where vert matters more than pace. Then we get into the wild story of the Mount Ascutney Vertical Backyard, a last-person-standing race that went a jaw-dropping 90 hours, and somehow turned race directing into an ultra of its own.After that, we talk about something more important than suffering, community. I'm officially joining Northeast Trail Adventures as a leader for their White Mountains running and hiking retreat (June 5 weekend at Hub North), a low-pressure, all-abilities weekend built around moving efficiently in the mountains, learning from experienced leaders, and hanging out like normal humans at night with meals, stories, and whatever game ends friendships.If you want an entry point to the Whites that's fun, supportive, and not gatekeep-y, this is it.

The start of the 4th novelette. Matt Stakel lives alone on "his" mountain in the White Mountains of NH. His quiet, hermit-like lifestyle consists mostly of the slow rhythm of harvests and subsistence chores. A routine harvest of berries down near the highway is interrupted by a group of three young men assaulting a women whom they had driven off the road. Against his own self-advice to not get involved, he interrupts their plans. A three-on-one fight ensues. Ready for a new grid-down adventure? Encourage Mic to keep writing. Coffee is a great encourager. Go to  Buy Me A Coffee and buy him a cup of virtual coffee. Monthly supporters on Patreon and BMAC will be getting chapter 6 of the Refuge Mountain story .If you'd like to read ahead, become a member too! 

When we think about environmental impacts in the outdoors, we often focus on things we can see: litter left behind, eroded trails, overcrowded trailheads. But some of the most significant impacts are invisible, and they're showing up in places many of us consider pristine.In episode 208 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we're talking about microplastics in remote wilderness areas and what new research is revealing about how they get there. Joining me today is Dr. Tim Keyes.Prior to joining Welch College of Business & Technology in 2019, Dr. Keyes was employed by General Electric as a Senior Risk Analytics Manager for 22 years, and for seven years prior to that he worked as a Senior Systems Engineer at Measurex/Honeywell. He now consults with banks and nonprofits through his company, Evergreen Business Analytics, LLC.In addition to his professional work, Dr. Keyes leads adventure science expeditions with students to research air and water quality across the Northeast United States. He has summited all of the high peaks in the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains in New York, the Green Mountains in Vermont, and half, to date, of the high peaks in New Hampshire's White Mountains.Professionally, Dr. Keyes has published more than ten professional papers and holds seventeen patents related to risk analytics. His most recent refereed research was published in 2023 in the peer-reviewed Elsevier journal Heliyon. In 2025, an adventure science expedition he led received global attention for its potential impact on environmental health and backcountry recreation.Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/outdoor.minimalist.book/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theoutdoorminimalistBuy Me a Coffee: ⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/outdoorminimalist⁠⁠⁠Listener Survey: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/jd8UCN2LL3AQst976⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠------------------Learn MoreResearch: https://adkh2h.org/wp-content/uploads/Return-to-Lake-Tear-Expedition-Report-September-2025.pdfGuardian Article: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/oct/13/microplastics-hiking-shoes-outdoor-gear Rozalia Project: https://www.rozaliaproject.orgFootwear Collective: https://earthdna.org/home/the-footwear-collective/Guppy Friend: https://www.patagonia.com/product/guppyfriend-microplastic-washing-bag/4260750820839.html

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, firsthand witnesses from across North America finally share what they experienced — often in places Bigfoot researchers know all too well.From a violent nighttime incident at a remote Montana campground, to a massive figure crossing a road near Weld, Maine, to daylight activity along Highway 7 near Morton and Mineral, Washington, these encounters didn't happen in stories — they happened in real places.Listeners will hear accounts tied to the Appalachian Trail near Dudleytown, Connecticut, the forests of northern Minnesota, the White Mountains and Mogollon Rim of Arizona, ranch land in British Columbia, and even an Interstate 90 rest stop in Washington — locations where witnesses never expected to come face-to-face with something they couldn't explain.Hunters, campers, loggers, ranchers, and truck drivers describe moments of silence, fear, movement, and presence — sometimes lasting only seconds, sometimes stretching through the night.No theories pushed.No conclusions forced.Just firsthand testimony, shared carefully and honestly.Listen to the full episode — every voice matters, and the pattern only emerges when you hear them all.

Cara Baskin is an ultramarathon runner and co-president of the Upper Valley Run Club. In September she set the record for the fastest female completion of the White Mountains 100, coming in at a time of 34 hours 12 minutes and beating the previous female FKT by over 4.5 hours. We talk all about Cara's amazing run in today's episode!​Infinit Nutrition: Use code FROMTHEBACKCOUNTRY at infinitnutrition.us for 15% off your entire order​Burgeon Outdoor: Check out Burgeon's incredible and locally made hiking apparel in Lincoln NH or at burgeonoutdoor.com, and let them know we sent you!!​Janji: Use code FROMTHEBACKCOUNTRY at janji.com for 10% off your entire order and let them know we sent you at checkout!

When a team of Search and Rescue rangers is sent deep into the White Mountains of New Hampshire, they expect to find a lost hiker — not the nightmare waiting for them beneath the pines. Search & Rescue Rangers Make TERRIFYING Discovery in New Hampshire! is a chilling Creepypasta and True Scary Story that blurs the line between duty and horror. If you love Deep Woods Horror Stories, Creepypasta narrations, and eerie Horror Stories set in the wilderness, this tale will keep you listening long into the night. Darkness hides something ancient in these woods… and once you hear it, you can't unhear it.

Deep in the silent heart of the White Mountains, a phantom is waiting. Welcome to the official premiere of Project Jackalope, a new documentary-style series from The Infinite Rabbit Hole. In this inaugural file, Jeremy investigates a creature that defies the standard laws of cryptozoology: the Woods Devil of Coös County, New Hampshire.Standing up to nine feet tall but described as "rail thin," this entity is known for its supernatural ability to vanish against the bark of a tree and its unsettling, horse-like face. But for Jeremy, this isn't just another campfire story—it's personal. We go beyond the sightings of hunters and loggers to explore a terrifying, first-hand encounter from Jeremy's own childhood in the New England wilderness.In this documentary investigation:The Ghost of the North Woods: We trace sightings dating back to the 1930s, exploring why this "horse-faced" entity is often feared more than the traditional Bigfoot.Abenaki Origins: Uncovering the chilling connection between the modern Woods Devil and the ancient legends of the Keewakw, or "Ice Giant".The Stealth Predator: Analyzing the creature's "blood-curdling" scream and its mastery of silent movement through the dense underbrush.Jeremy's Personal File: A detailed account of the day a nine-year-old Jeremy watched a tall, thin figure carrying a deer across its shoulder—and the brutal moment that silenced the animal forever.The woods of Northern New Hampshire hold their secrets close. Are you ready to see what's standing just beyond the light?

Jeff Colt is back, calling in from Carbondale with a mission to help rehabilitate the name “Jeff” one mountain town conversation at a time. We start with winter training reality in ski country, how to keep momentum when the days are short, the “subsistence” weeks that quietly save your season, and the eternal debate of pants, tights, and looking cool versus staying warm. From there it turns into a bigger conversation about identity, planning, uncertainty, and why the simplest answer sometimes is “we just have Jeff,” so we might as well make it a good one.Then we head straight into the good stuff, the White Mountains and the Mahoosuc Traverse, where “running” becomes scrambling, crawling, and three points of contact through the Mahoosuc Notch. Jeff breaks down the history and the legends (including Chris Getz and the steak stop), why style matters as much as speed in FKTs, and how different eras and ethics shape what we celebrate. We close with one of the most fun tangents of the whole Month of Jeff, what it is really like working in the AMC huts, from responsibility in dangerous weather to full-on blanket-folding skits, including Harry Potter and Frozen, all in service of three sacred rules: fold the blankets, pack out the trash, and tip the hut crew.Support our Sponsors: Janji (code: Freeoutside): https://snp.link/a0bfb726CS Coffee: CSinstant.coffeeGarage Grown Gear: https://snp.link/db1ba8abChapters00:00 The Jeff Identity Crisis06:19 Winter Training in Mountain Towns09:18 Exploring the Mahusik Range12:37 The Legacy of Chris Getz15:27 Navigating the Mahusik Notch18:29 Style and FKT Philosophy22:00 The Challenge of Self-Supported FKTs24:56 Planning and Uncertainty in Adventure27:57 The Evolution of Trail Running Style42:22 Exploring Style in Trail Running44:16 The Debate on Supported vs. Unsupported47:43 The Evolution of Trail Running50:54 Killian Jornet: The Pinnacle of Trail Running54:43 Authenticity in Trail Running58:30 The Role of Creativity in Trail Running01:03:31 Life Lessons from Working in the HutsSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside

Some management companies build hotels. Olympia Hospitality builds identity. I spoke with Sara Masterson (President) and John Schultzel (Chief Growth Officer) about how Olympia blends independent spirit, strong brand partnerships, and mission-driven hospitality across destinations like Nantucket, Boston, Winter Park, the White Mountains, and beyond. On #NoVacancyNews, Sara and John explain how they combine boutique creativity with brand-backed consistency, how they think about technology adoption, and why community connection is becoming the core differentiator in both luxury and branded hotels. A big thanks to Actabl — Actabl gives you the power to profit. Visit Actabl.com. What we cover:

On this week's episode of The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief takes listeners on a ride to North Conway, New Hampshire, to visit Cathedral Ledge Distillery and sit down with owner and head distiller Christopher Burk. Set against the backdrop of the White Mountains, Cathedral Ledge is known for its certified-organic spirits, its respect for the land, and the clean, hands-on approach Christopher and his wife, Kara, bring to every bottle. In the first half of the conversation, Big Chief and Christopher talk about the distillery's foundation through their Organic Straight Bourbon Whiskey and Organic Straight Rye Whiskey. Christopher explains how these spirits helped shape the identity of Cathedral Ledge and how his engineering background and commitment to quality guide each step of the process. In the second half, the focus shifts to their Bottle in Bond Wheated Bourbon and their Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey. Christopher shares how New Hampshire's climate influences his aging philosophy and how these two expressions reflect the distillery's growth and future direction. Throughout the episode, one thing remains clear: Cathedral Ledge is built on intention and integrity. All of their spirits are certified gluten-free, a testament to their clean production methods and dedication to transparency. Big Chief closes the ride reflecting on how the land, the craft, and Christopher's passion come together to create a distillery with a story as bold as its whiskey.

Hi there! Feel free to drop us a text if you enjoy the episode.In this episode of the New England Endurance Podcast, we sit down with Andrew Drummond—founder of White Mountain Ski Company and the man behind some of the region's most iconic events and endurance feats.Andrew recently completed the White Mountains Direttissima—connecting all 48 of New Hampshire's 4,000-footers in a single unsupported push. That's 231 miles and 86,000 feet of climbing in just 4 days, 22 hours, and 43 minutes, setting a new fastest known time (FKT). We unpack how trench foot, tendon pain, and mental fatigue nearly derailed him—and how he pushed through.We also cover the Last Skier Standing, his pioneering coffee roasting project, and how he views his role in building the endurance community in Jackson, NH and beyond. If you're curious what it takes to run a backcountry ski shop and crush unsupported FKTs, this episode is a masterclass in mountain grit.Learn more: whitemountainski.coFollow Andrew: @sr_drummond and @whitemountainskicoKey Takeaways:How Andrew trained for the unsupported White Mountains Direttissima FKTLessons learned from trench foot, blisters, and tendon breakdown at hour 90The origin and ethos of Last Skier StandingBuilding White Mountain Ski Company from a truck bed to a Jackson hubThe underrated value of coffee and community in endurance cultureAndrew's favorite peak, favorite trail, and what's next for 2026This podcast embarks on a journey to showcase and celebrate the endurance sports community in New England.

Thanksgiving Day, 2001: deep in the quiet forests of New Hampshire's White Mountains, searchers made a grim discovery — the body of 52-year-old Canadian hiker who had vanished after setting out for a short afternoon hike.

Ken recently published his 4th book - "They Said It's Dangerous" - a light hearted look at some of the dangers hikers can be faced with. This is Ken's 4th book and as always, all profits from Ken's books go to the NH Outdoor Council which supports local search and rescue teams. Ken will sit in with us today and will catch up on a bunch of topics including the mystery of an abandoned tent in the White Mountains that has made national news, a rough day on Mount Washington, the Cog railway had to say upwards of 20 hikers who were ill prepared for an early burst of winter like conditions. Plus naked hikers, NH declared the best place to raise a family, Siberian Log Fires, an overview of some hiking in Hawaii, and we catch up on recent search and rescue news.   JOIN SLASR, REKLIS AND FRIENDS LIVE IN NOVEMBER AT FULL CONDITIONS EVENT - TICKETS HERE   About Ken's New Book  New Book - They Said It's Dangerous They Said It Would Be Fun: A Hilarious Journey Learning to Hike the NH 48 They Said They Wanted More: A Hilarious Journey Hiking the NH 52 With a View They Said Teach Us More: Solos, Winter Hiking & Overnighters Topics Welcome Baby Ethan Full conditions Aurora Borealis Abandoned Tent Mystery Naked Hiker NH is the Best place to raise a family  NH Lifts Fire Ban SAR Topics List  Siberian Log Fire  Mount Washington Rescues - 20+ people taken down by the Cog Missing Two Year Old Waterville Valley Expansion Two guys recreate Sam and Frodo journey from Lord of the Rings Yosemite Chaos  Gear Talk  Music Minute - Til Tuesday Recent Hikes - Hawaii and Blue Hills Guest of the week - Ken Bosse - New Book  Recent Search and Rescue  Show Notes Apple Podcast link for 5 star reviews SLASR Merchandise SLASR LinkTree SLASR's BUYMEACOFFEE Abandoned Tent Sparks Mystery Social Media Post People leave gear more than you think Mike had a situation where he found gear on Franconia Ridge Naked, Lost and Afraid in Canada NH ranks #1 as best place to raise a family NH lifts fire ban  list of all SLASR episode show notes Making a Siberian Log Fire 20+ hikers rescued from Mount Washington  Missing 2 year old found by NEK9  2 men recreate Sam and Frodo's journey Backpacker Mag on gov shutdown in yosemite Base Jumper Cited Exploding Gas Canisters when combining fuel canisters for backpacking T-Mobile GPS news Injured Hiker Carried off Welch-Dickey Trail in Thornton - 10/1 Injured Hiker Rescued from Mount Osceola, Livermore - 10/4 Youth Hiker Assisted Off of Mount Washington - 10/5 Injured Hiker Assisted on Mount Monadnock - 10/7 Injured Hiker Rescued from Dickey Mountain, Thornton - 10/7 Hiking Fatality, Pisgah State Park - 10/9 Injured Hiker Rescued on Basin Cascade Trail - 10/13 Injured Hiker on the UNH Trail, Hedgehog Mountain - 10/18 Unprepared Hiker Rescued from Franconia Ridge in Lincoln - 10/19 Injured Hiker Rescued from Old Bridle Path in Franconia - 10/25 Hiker Rescued in the Mt.
