Buckle up, there's a lot of information to dissect in this episode. 
From what our team did in the Molalla River Recreation Corridor searching for Don Parkins to reports of UAPs and UFOs seen in an area where an Iowa trucker, David Schultz, vanished in November of 2023. 

While we usually refrain from discussing theories in this podcast the disappearance and eventual locating of David Schultz remains, it's hard to not think that something else is at play in these disappearances.

Glen "Austin" Oldfield II disappeared while on a two week camping trip inside the rugged and majestic Gifford Pinchot National Forest in September of 2015. 
Camping just east of Lone Butte, Austin would refuse being rescued not once, but twice, by two different groups of people who located him lost and confused in the woods. 

What exactly happened to Austin is a mystery, one that we may never truly find answers for. 
What do you think happened to Austin?
Let us know.

In this week's episode, Tanner takes listeners on a journey into understanding how Toddlers, ages 1-3 years old, that become lost in the wilderness behave. All of the information shared in today's podcast comes from Tanner's own Search and Rescue training accompanied with statistics from the last 50 years of Search and Rescue efforts around the world. 
This topic is not easy to listen to, it's also not easy to research or discuss, but the information shared in this week's episode is important to know and understand. 
Tanner wishes he could go more in-depth on the topic, but there's just not enough time in the day to discuss everything that comes along with missing persons cases, especially that of missing toddlers. 

If you'd like to learn more, we encourage you to take a course with your local Search and Rescue team, volunteer with your local Search and Rescue teams, or pursue further knowledge on your own time.

Once again, thank you all for your unwavering support!
