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 by Mel who is a well known hiker in the region due to her partner - Floki the Adventure Cat. Anyone who has listened to SLASR knows we are big fans of furry felines so we will talk to Mel about all the logistics, training and planning that goes into hiking with a cat.
