Show Notes

There’s nothing like those warm sunny days in November to distract us from the fact that we aren’t getting much snow yet… But, while pre-season demands patience, it’s also a great time to do some planning for the winter to come. On this episode, we’ll do our weekly snapshot of the current weather and snow conditions here in the San Juans and then we’ll dive into a hot topic: technology in the backcountry. What to bring? What not to bring? And why? I’ll hit you with my take on what I think are the most essential techy items for any backcountry traveller to carry, and why I think they are important. 

Then, on next week’s show, we’ll continue the theme of “Emergency Preparedness” by looking at what I have in my First Aid Kit, my Repair Kit, and why I carry a tarp/rescue sled with me every time I go touring.
