Chris Sawyer - Season 3 finale

Season 3 finale with Chris Sawyer.  Chris shares an impactful interview, one of sacred dedication and professionalism for Philmont Scout Ranch. We discuss topics such as the Rayado program, fires and floods, the privilege it is to live in Cimarron, and much more.  Chris specifically shares the incredible behind the scenes efforts that go into preparing the Itineraries and Philmont Treks Books. He praises what Waite Phillips called “the doing method,” which is the expectation that one will do the very best they can in their role.  Today Chris owns and operates Limmer Boot Company and his business partner owns and operates Peter Limmer & Sons, custom boots. For over 100 years, Limmer has been known for providing the highest quality, long-lasting hiking boots, with the only true single piece leather upper design.  If you are in search for your last pair of hiking boots, Chris looks forward to sharing how Limmer is different, and how his pair of 18 year old Limmer Lightweights have been his most trusted companions, at Philmont and on adventures around the globe. Participant 1995 - 12 Day Trek 1997 - Rayado 1998 - 28 Day Trail Crew1999 - 12 Day Trek Seasonal Staff2002 - Ranger & Rayado Ranger2003 - Ranger Trainer2004 & 2005 - Rayado Trek Coordinator2009 - Assistant Chief Ranger (ACR)Full-time Employment2011, 2012, & 2013: Unit 6 - Associate Director of Program -  responsible for half of the Backcountry - Valle Vidal, Biking, Climbing, Challenge Course, Search and Rescue, Logging camps, & Hunting Lodge, Baldy Town, Ute Gulch, Itineraries and Philmont Treks Book, Autumn Adventure.2014 - Unit 4 & 6 - Human Resources, Seasonal Personnel, Logistics, Base Camp Operations and Associate Director of Program.2015 - Unit 4 Notable MentionsBurt WingfieldJimmy ShaheenEddie MillerKevin WrightJudge Charles A.
