Sounds Like A Search And Rescue Podcast

This week, all things Smarts Mountain and Mount Cube!

Welcome to Episode 245, this week we are joined by Ryan Vezina of Recycled Percussion. Ryan went viral last fall for participating in a New Hampshire hiking challenge where with no experience, he attempted to hike all 48 of New Hampshire's 4000 Footers in 7 days. He ultimately missed the 7 day mark but was successful in completing the challenge in 11 days total. Ryan gained a lot of attention and some controversy during the attempt and we covered the event on a dedicated episode back in October of last year. We've been in touch with him on and off and schedules have finally aligned to allow us to sit down with him to get his perspective. We will also learn about his background in other endurance activities and he will share more about his music and media activities. All this plus, its time to start planning for the 9-11 memorial on the summit of mount washington, a 91 year old hiker completes the AT, Flash Floods in the Grand Canyon, and we caught up with friend of show Dave Shits in the Woods as he left the White Mountains and is now entering Maine.
