    Rescue in the mountains - Land Search and Rescue NZ

    This podcast is from two interviews I did with local Land Search and Rescue team members based in Queenstown. I spoke to Tarn Pilkington,  a volunteer with Wakatipu Search and Rescue Alpine Cliff Rescue team about a rescue he was involved in when two climbers needed help on the Remarkables in poor weather. I also spoke to Chrissy Schreiber who is a volunteer with Wakatipu Search and Rescue, about what LANDSAR does, lost person behaviour, the challenges of a volunteer organisation and more. They both tell me about their own outdoor adventures and Chrissy gives me advice for the upcoming Luxmore Grunt. I made attempts to contact the two climbers that Tarn helped rescue, but after speaking to police and mountain clubs I was unsuccessful, so Tarn's story will have to do. Link to a story about the rescue. A special thanks to Johnny Franklin, General Manager Partnerships at New Zealand Land Search and Rescue for organising the interviews.

    Ryan O'Connor from the Stag Roar podcast - A life less ordinary

    I speak to optometrist Ryan O'Connor from the Stag Roar podcast about podcasting, optometry, what tech will change the way we see, starting hunting later in life, the western diet and its influences on different cultures, I admit to being a chocoholic, we talk Seventh Day Adventists influence on the modern diet (I kid ya not!), me freaking out in the bush, my English also dries up so I blabber a lot, Ryan tells me about his interest in herd history in New Zealand and more. The Gary Fetke interview with Ryan on the modern diet, carbs and more is worth a listen. https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/the-stag-roar-life-less-ordinary/id1257836237?i=1000429186527 The Stag Roar: Life Less Ordinary https://www.stagroar.co.nz/
