 Welcome to Episode 188 of the Sounds like a Search and Rescue Podcast. This week we are joined by John Glidden of Minus33. Minus33 is a clothing company we’ve talked about often on the show - they believe no one should feel uncomfortable or ill-prepared in the outdoor community, and having reliable gear is one of the first steps toward a lifetime of passion for whatever your activity is. John will join us to talk about the history and mission of Minus33 and he will give us some tips and advice on some of their products that can help hikers stay warm and comfortable. Plus a recent winter hiking attempt on the Bonds, Reminders about the AMC 4000 Footer clud awards ceremony, trail adoption in the White Mountains, and NH County High points including some details about the mysterious Corbin Park. 

 Note - we ran out of time so we are pushing the NH AT Thru Hiker segment to next week
