On episode 205 We discuss the brutal statistics from the National Park Service about Overcrowding and Search and Rescue in 2021. On our weekly LIVE Audio Show, we have a conversation with our Listeners about why National Parks experienced a record Search and Rescue year. Is this why Backcountry permit fees are on the rise for 2022? Why is there such a disconnect between Visitors and “What to Know before you Go”? and lastly one of our listeners explains Jujutsu and how it’s getting her in shape.
