Every time you head into the backcountry, there's a chance things could go wrong. No matter how experienced you are, how much training you have, or how long you've been fly fishing in the wilderness, you could find yourself in trouble out there. If that day ever comes, you'll be incredibly grateful for the amazing folks on your local search and rescue team.

One of those wonderful folks, Dave Arnett from Douglas County Search and Rescue in Colorado, joins Ross on this episode to give you an inside look at a search and rescue team. Dave also provides tips and information that could save your life if you ever do find yourself in a bad situation.

We are immensely grateful for Dave's work and the work of all wilderness search and rescue teams. THANK YOU for all you do to keep us safe as we chase beautiful fish in wild places.
