Welcome to episode 15 of Explore Magazine’s Live the Adventure Podcast.
You’re lost in the wilderness. You’re scared. Maybe hurt?
Who do you call?
Well, if you’re on the North Shore of Vancouver, BC, you call North Shore Rescue—the busiest search-and-rescue team in Canada.
Today, I’m chatting with the team leader of NSR, Mike Danks.
We discuss NSR’s new docu-series on Knowledge Network (Search & Rescue: North Shore), how search-and-rescue functions, how you can join and how you can avoid being the next call.
In This Episode You’ll Discover
- What is North Shore Rescue?
- How does an all-volunteer Search and Rescue organization operate?
- What is this new documentary series on Knowledge Network?
- How can I stay safe in the backcountry?
