Wilderness safety and survival with mountain rescuer, Nina Makston

This is a great episode. If you have ever wondered about how to stay safe or survive in the wilderness, my conversation with Nina will give you the tools you need to 1) make sure you don't get into a bad situation and 2) you can survive and get rescued if you do. Nina is a volunteer mountain rescuer in Arizona. She shares how people can keep themselves and their families safe in the wilderness, but also shares important stories about how it's not the big, dangerous trips that get people - it's the mundane, "easy" hikes where people get comfortable and make life-threatening mistakes. For real, listen to this episode. It might save your or someone else's life!
