Looking for more DTP Content? Check us out: www.thereadinesslab.com/dtp-links Host John Scardena sits down with Moose Mutlow, Search and Rescue (SAR) expert, author, and instructor based in Yosemite National Park. With over 20 years of frontline experience in swiftwater rescue, recovery, and family liaison operations, Moose shares hard-won lessons about humility, leadership, and resilience in the face of tragedy. The episode opens with John contextualizing a recent Yosemite accident—emphasizing that the discussion was recorded before that event but underscores the real-world gravity of Moose's work. Realities of Search & Rescue Operations Yosemite averages 220 SAR missions annually, from twisted ankles to multi-day helicopter recoveries. Moose recounts six-month recovery efforts and multi-year search closures, explaining how search theory must adapt to reality.  Leadership, Ego, and Humility A central thread throughout the episode is balancing confidence and humility. Moose and John explore the dangers of overconfidence—both in rescues and leadership. “A good leader listens, delegates, and lets go of control,” Moose notes. “You're not the hero if you can't come home.” They discuss teaching younger rangers through “safe humility”—allowing controlled failure to build competence and self-awareness.Emotional Health & Responder Wellness Moose details using the stress continuum to track emotional health, emphasizing the importance of processing trauma before it compounds. He explains the role of Family Liaison Officers in managing information flow to grieving families—balancing empathy, structure, and control. Both men share personal experiences with loss and coping, from fatal rescues to family grief, reinforcing that “holding space in silence” can be the most powerful act of compassion. Writing, Reflection, and Legacy Moose's books—When Accidents Happen and Searching—help responders process trauma through structured reflection. Writing, he says, “forces you to articulate intuition,” turning instinctive experience into teachable frameworks for others. John parallels this idea to the podcast's mission: amplifying field wisdom for professional development and collective growth. The Humanity in Service “Service is a gift, but it comes at a cost,” Moose says, calling for responders to protect their humanity rather than armor it away. The episode ends with a heartfelt reminder to reach out for help, celebrate small joys, and share mental health resources with others.

Nous sommes le 15 juillet 1869… John Muir s'éloigne du troupeau de moutons dont il a la charge et grimpe le flanc de montagne. Entouré de gigantesques pins et du chant des rivières, il gambade joyeusement. Soudain, arrivé au sommet, la vue s'ouvre et John Muir ne peut retenir un cri d'extase. Devant lui, la vallée dont on lui a tant parlé, les sublimes dômes de granite profondément ancrés dans le ciel… tout en bas, en a pic, il n'a qu'à se pencher et il la voit couler, la rivière, la miraculeuse rivière ! … Et puis il y a les cascades, les nombreuses et glorieuses cascades ! La beauté irradie de partout et s'imprime dans la peau de John Muir… Il bondit, crie sa joie, hurle son bonheur, si bien qu'un ours noir s'enfuit du buisson d'à côté… John Muir, né en Ecosse en 1838, aurait pu devenir un inventeur de génie, il a préféré être un promeneur émerveillé. Il a marché à travers les Etats-Unis, du Nord au Sud, puis d'Est en Ouest, pour finalement arriver en Californie. Tombé amoureux de la Sierra Nevada et des montagnes de Yosemite, il écrit et se battit pour protéger un environnement qui était alors attaqué de toute part. Invité : Alexis Jenni, auteur de deux biographies de John Muir aux éditions Paulsen : « J'aurais pu devenir millionnaire, j'ai choisi d'être vagabond » et « Celui qui voulait toujours marcher dans la forêt » illustrée par Anton Van Hertbruggen.

Cary Stayner is a convicted American serial killer whose crimes shocked the nation in 1999. He was the older brother of Steven Stayner, whose childhood abduction and dramatic escape years later had already made the family infamous. While Steven was once portrayed as a tragic hero, Cary's life spiraled into darkness. Working as a handyman near Yosemite National Park, Cary outwardly seemed quiet and unremarkable, but he harbored violent fantasies from a young age. His troubled background, compounded by his brother's notoriety, set the stage for his eventual eruption into brutal violence that would stain his name and overshadow the legacy of his family.The Yosemite Village murders refer to the killings of four women in and around Yosemite National Park in 1999. Cary Stayner first targeted three tourists—Carole Sund, her daughter Juli, and Juli's friend Silvina Pelosso—whom he abducted, sexually assaulted, and murdered, before later killing Joie Armstrong, a Yosemite park naturalist. These crimes terrorized the community and drew massive media attention, not only because of their brutality but also because they occurred in such a famed natural landmark. Stayner was arrested and confessed, later being sentenced to death. The case became one of the most infamous examples of serial murder in California history, forever linking Yosemite with a dark chapter of violence and betrayal of trust.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.outsideonline.com/adventure-travel/yosemite-horror/

Cancer drugs cost more than ever, yet survival benefits are often modest—and in some cases, patients can't even access the care that already exists. After losing his father, Steve Jobs, to pancreatic cancer, Reed Jobs committed himself to making this the last generation that loses parents to the disease.Reed now leads Yosemite, a venture fund spun out of Emerson Collective in 2023, alongside Investor Matt Bettonville. Yosemite pairs life sciences and digital health investments with a grantmaking model to accelerate cancer research and ensure breakthroughs actually reach patients.We cover:

Ever feel like you're just watching life from the valley instead of climbing the mountain?In this message, guest speaker Carl Kuhl shares stories—from Yosemite hikes to Navy SEAL missions—that point us to something bigger: following Jesus means stepping out of comfort, giving up control, and saying yes to a better way of life.Carl challenges us to move from being spectators to participants—because when we serve, when we risk, and when we say yes, we discover the kind of full life Jesus talked about.Ready to take your next step?Join the 1PM Launch Team: https://communitychurchli.churchcenter.com/people/forms/1042866

What happens when you spot not just one Sasquatch—but two—climbing a muddy hillside in a thunderstorm, right in front of your truck? In this unforgettable episode, we meet a witness who recalls seeing a motherly Sasquatch with a smaller one by her side near Twin Bridges, Missouri. Lightning cracked through the Ozarks as the two figures disappeared into the woods, leaving behind only awe and questions. But that's just one of the encounters shared here.You'll also hear from Melissa in Southwest Virginia, who saw a Sasquatch tap on her second-story window; an outdoorsman in Texas who watched a creature ambush a deer; and a camper in Yosemite's Tioga Pass who felt drawn back by something he couldn't explain and MANY MORE ACCOUNTS! These stories span from the forests of Oregon and Appalachia to the riverbanks of Texas—and each one carries the same chilling thread: they saw something. And it saw them back.

This is your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas. Today our guest is Amber Smith.Amber is a femme-queer AMGA Certified Rock Guide with over a decade of experience. Most summers you'll find her at the Yosemite Mountaineering School, climbing grandiose granite walls with her guests. She is passionate about playful, trauma-aware, and embodiment-focused instruction, and she views climbing as an opportunity for powerful personal transformation. If you go climbing with her, she will encourage you to craft a positive affirmation to hone your power.Before landing in Yosemite, she guided throughout the western United States. She has led glacier mountaineering and alpine rock objectives in Washington's North Cascades, ski descents in Wyoming's Grand Tetons, sandstone crack climbs in Utah's deserts, and girls' climate science research expeditions on Alaska's glaciers. In 2016, Amber earned a degree in Geography and wrote her undergraduate thesis on what she called “Feminist Outdoor Leadership: A Guide to Facilitation Strategies for Inclusion and Participant Empowerment in Outdoor Adventure.”I enjoyed my conversations with Amber. Her thoughtfulness was evident when listening to her reflections on her life journeys. She is also inquisitive and not shy about experimenting with new ideas. She is keen on exploring her inner voices to facilitate her own growth and be tuned to others' needs. Now please enjoy this episode with Amber.What We Talked AboutAmber's current, past, and future plansAmber's Affirmation on guiding – be safe, have fun, try your bestDoubts and questions about guiding as a professionEngrossed in the outdoor leadership program in collegeFeminist outdoor leadershipFrom Oregon to Washington, stepping into commercial guiding and keep her foot in outdoor educationTransitioning to Yosemite and guiding full timeLoved the Yosemite climbing communityYosemite climbing and work culturesHosted a webinar about working in YosemiteThinking entrepreneurial  – mental health and mindset fieldsLearn to Lead with mindfulness clinicsExperiments / Curiosities on grief and climbing and guidingAffirmation in life – exercise your weakness, leverage your strengths, don't worry about the looksQuote:Keep my priorities clear. And its number one, keep yourself and your guests safe. If that's all I do at the end of the day, nobody had a great time, but at least we were safe, then that was a successful day.I'd say that's the whole journey of this industry for me is building the confidence in my voice, trusting myself and figuring out how to be myself in these spaces while also still sort of meeting some of the expectations of what your employers and your clients may want from you.I'm definitely not [the best climbers in the world]. But what I am good at is supporting people in their climbing goals. And that's what the job is actually about..I think that's really rad that I'm an ebike commuter to my rock guiding job.I think we get a lot of burnout when we're not being intellectually stimulated.I'm basically not like ingraining negative association with the experience. I'm keeping my association with the process positive. and by having these positive associations, then I want to keep doing itOne of the most important attributes of a guide is that you need to be intuitive with your guests. It's very customer service type job. And we need to be intuitively listening to what they need all day.... MoreEP 52 – Amber Smith – AffirMATIONs – Female Guides Requested Podcast

The Tim Corrimal Show Episode 804 – September 21, 2025 On episode 804 of The Tim Corrimal Show, I am joined at the round table with Joe (Joseph Santorsa on Facebook and @marnus3.bsky.social on BlueSky), Tee Brown (@teebrown1061 on Spoutible and @teebrown1961 on Substack) who is the host of “Tea Time with Tee” on YouTube, Tom Daddario […] The post Episode 804 – Yosemite Don first appeared on The Tim Corrimal Show.

A park ranger wakes up in Brujas Canyon after sharing the same dream as his roommate, both of whom are chased by a black bull that local lore says is a witch. Another ranger's friend steps from her tent along a desert river and meets a “woman” whose attack ends with cougar tracks and a warning whispered by tradition: some predators wear borrowed skins. Far away beneath redwoods, a hiker meets a toddler who speaks an unfamiliar word, then loses eleven minutes he can't account for, along with any trace of the boy or the man he thought was his father. What threads tie a witch-bull, skinwalkers, and missing time together in America's most protected wildlands?Night in the Smokies turns the forest mute, no wind, no insects, until a crouched, black form with burning red eyes appears on a boulder, and a heat-shimmer “something” paces hikers down the trail. In Yellowstone, a woman in 19th-century dress walks a snowed-in road at midnight, dry hair, no face. Near Gatlinburg, a man watches as a human-sized shadow collapses into a coyote shape and hops onto a log. These aren't stray campfire tales; they're consistent motifs: red-eyed sentinels, liminal crossings (bridges, bends, boulder gates), and entities that compress distance and time.Go west, and the pattern persists. A Half Dome hiker stares up at a white, pant-leg shape tucked in a cliff alcove, immobile in high wind, echoing California's “Nightcrawler” archetype. On Mount Lassen, a volcanic slope answers a teenager's call with a throat-deep roar a ranger will later name flatly: “Bigfoot.” At Crater Lake, pale eyes and a gray, low-slung humanoid glide from the dark; at Cuyahoga, a winged figure with ten-foot spread and red eyes drops from a tree as a missing camper crawls from the brush. Why the red eyes? Why the silence before the approach? Why so often at water, switchbacks, bridges, and towers?Keep reading as we map these accounts against known hot-zones, Brujas Canyon to Arches, Muir Woods to Yosemite, the Smokies to Yellowstone, Crater Lake to Cuyahoga, and test them against three working models: (1) shapeshifter lore tracking real predatory intelligences along waterways, (2) guardian/sentinel phenomena clustering at geologic and energetic thresholds, and (3) “glimmer” entities whose interference fields produce memory gaps and light suppression. The witnesses didn't just see things; they crossed into places where the land itself seemed to watch back at them.

Together, they reflect on America's rising political violence, and how social media and polarization are fueling America's darkest impulses. From Civil War analogies to personal stories of friendship across partisan lines, this episode asks: Can we still find what binds us together as a nation?-Recorded September 11, 2025.-Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more episodes of The Latino Vote Podcast!Watch our episodes on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@thelatinovotepodcastFollow us on X (formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/TheLatino_VoteVisit our website for the latest Latino Vote news and subscribe to our newsletter: latinos.voteIf you want more of our discussions and behind the scenes please join our Patreon (www.patreon.com/thelatinovote) for exclusive content and opportunities!

Last week in Part I, we began our journey with legendary alpinist Jim Donini — exploring his surprise cancer diagnosis, his early days in Yosemite, and the philosophy that has defined his career: “Getting to the top is optional. Getting back down is mandatory.”In this second part of our conversation, we turn from the mountains themselves to the human side of Jim's story. At 82, Jim reflects on:The partnerships that shaped his greatest climbs — and what makes someone a great partner in the mountains and in lifeThe sacrifices and personal costs of chasing bold objectives, and the double-edged gift of being able to block out hardshipLessons from living and climbing in places like Pakistan and Patagonia, and how those cultures shaped his worldviewWhat it means to slow down, face illness with honesty, and still look ahead with optimismThe legacy he hopes to leave, and what “ageless” means to him todayJim speaks with the same candor and optimism that have marked his five decades in the world's hardest ranges. His reflections on life, loss, and resilience remind us that survival is never guaranteed — but meaning can be found in how we choose our lines, both on the mountain and off.If you haven't yet, go back and listen to Part I — it lays the foundation for everything we cover here.

Law enforcement rangers cleared an illegal cannabis grow in Sequoia National Park, where they found thousands of plants, toxic chemicals, and major environmental damage. A new national park could be coming to Florida—legislation has been introduced to study the creation of “Florida Springs National Park.” Workers at Yosemite and Sequoia & Kings Canyon have voted overwhelmingly to unionize, joining a growing movement across the Park Service. Plus: new hunting and fishing opportunities at wildlife refuges, the Maurice Bathhouse restoration at Hot Springs, a fruitless year at Capitol Reef's orchards, and more.

My guest is Alex Honnold, a professional rock climber considered by many to be one of the greatest athletes of all time for his historic free solo (no ropes or man-made holds) ascent of El Capitan in Yosemite. We discuss how to envision massive goals in any part of life and the process of breaking down those goals into actionable daily steps. Alex shares how embracing your uniqueness and mortality is the most powerful way to envision and live a fuller, more intentional life. We also discuss strength and endurance training, assessing risk and how Alex prepares mentally and physically for extreme challenges. We also discuss how to balance goal-seeking with family and work. Regardless of your goals, profession or age, this conversation will very likely reshape how you think about and approach your life, goals and potential.

Ultimate Prey: The True Story Behind The Yosemite Sightseer MurdersCary Stayner was found guilty for the Yosemite Sightseer Murders, but some people closely associated with the investigation believe that Stayner did not act alone. Law enforcement had the right guys from the beginning, so what in the hell happened? The stories of the victims - Carole and Juli Sund, Silvina Pelosso, and Joie Armstrong did not end with their savage murders, February of 1999. Stephen Sanzeri, former police officer, private investigator and bounty hunter, has investigated their tragic deaths. What he found includes: drug trafficking, child porn, white supremacy, sexual molestation, rape, and bloody violence in the Central Valley of California and stretching to the Foothills. Even more disturbing is the corruption by law enforcement connected to the murders; an unwelcome burden added to Stephen's investigation. Now, for the first time, the real story is finally being told. First hand account of Stephen's initial investigation of a bail jumper that soon leads this x-cop to Alabama and the most dangerous manhunt he's ever experienced; and that's only the beginning. Stephen's investigation spanned over two years with plenty of roadblocks. Law enforcement's lack of cooperation and protection of suspects, to negligent dismissal of statements, reports and evidence by the FBI task force. After reading Ultimate Prey, you will be convinced that Cary Stayner did not act alone. Along with the tragedies of "Waco" and "Ruby Ridge," the Yosemite Sightseer Murders is considered the 3rd worst blunder in the FBI's history, according to Senator Grassley, Iowa.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Danielle and Cassie, the hosts of the popular podcast, National Park After Dark. In this episode, Chaunce gets the lowdown on some of the most outrageous stories from the our beloved national parks, including the infamous cocaine bear, tuberculosis huts in Mammoth Cave National Park, the tragic tale of Ishi, the last Yahi, who emerged from Lassen Park in the early 19th century, and the night there were two separate fatal grizzly attacks in Glacier National Park. We wrap the show with an opportunity to get paid to thru-hike (and consequently why you should be on The Trek's newsletter), cheap items that double as ultralight backpacking gear, my mediocre marriage advice, the triple crown of outdoor fears, and another listener offers a PSA on why you should probably not use dry ice for your resupply.  LMNT: Get a free sample pack with any order at drinklmnt.com/trek.
