https://slasrpodcast.com/   [email protected]  Welcome to the Sounds Like a Search and Rescue Podcast! Also known as SLASR. Join an experienced search and rescue volunteer and his friend as they discuss all things related to hiking and search and rescue in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.  This week we are joined once again by humorist, author and self-proclaimed "Worst Hiker in New Hampshire,"Ken Bosse. Ken was last with us for Episode 36, back in November of 2021 along with our friend Ian, talking about his first book "They Said It Would Be Fun: A Hilarious Journey Learning to Hike the NH 48," published on Nov 29th. His second book, "They Said They Wanted More: A Hilarious Journey Hiking the NH 52 With a View," was published a year later. Tonight Ken joins for a second time to chat about his latest book, "They Said Teach Us More - Solos, Winter HIking & Overnighters." Graciously, profits from all of Ken's books are donated to NH Search & Rescue. Tonight, Ken is also joined by trailmates, Ian and Dave, who will share their tales of adventure and elder abuse. Ken's last visit had us all in stitches and we can't wait to catch up with him and his goon-squad. r Swift, Alton Weagle Day, Tuckerman Ravine, Lions Head, RedStone Quarry and recent search and rescue news This weeks Higher Summit Forecast   Ken Bosse Books 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   Window Cling Order Form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScAWSpyB3_6IbQF84DaSkJ1KdlUzQkY6DDNM2S-8axYK98NyQ/viewform    Topics Ugly Tattoos The Stomp's new cat has arrived Mount Chocorua - White Mountain Endurance race recap Canadian Wildfires New long trail - American Perimeter Mount Everest Drama How to update place names on Open Street Map Jealous friend pays hitman to kill wife of her hiker friend New FKT in PA Hikers losing eyes, kicked in head by horse and cows attacking hikers NY State search and rescue data Topic of the week - Welcome Ken, Ian and Dave Ken talks about his latest book  Recent Search and Rescue news Show Notes Apple Podcast link for 5 star reviews SLASR Merchandise SLASR LinkTree Canadian wildfires continue to rage A new long-trail idea: The 14,000 mile 'American Perimeter Trail Sherpa saves Malaysian Climbers life on Everest Tn woman accused of hiring dark-web hitman to kill hiking buddies wife.  Heather Anderson FKT of PA section of the AT Hiker who lost eye on-trail now has brain infection.
