Season 6, Episode 103

Our guest today is Dave Searle – mountain guide, deep mountain thinker, and someone who has built his life around moving through wild places with purpose. Dave has spent years guiding in serious terrain, helping people travel safely and confidently in the mountains while also developing a thoughtful approach to risk, decision making, and what it really means to operate in consequential environments. He also has an amazing YouTube channel that helps people so much in learning about navigating the mountains, including his massive project that he is pushing right now called "The Grand Ski Tour." All of this stuff, about Dave, who he is, and what he creates and produces, is absolutely incredible, and we are honored to have him.
