Episode 239 - Hiker's Weather App with Tim Luby

Welcome to episode 239! This week, Tim Luby joins us to talk about his new app, Hikers Weather, and why getting the right weather information can make a huge difference when you’re heading into the mountains. Tim created Hikers Weather specifically with hikers in mind, giving them the data they actually need to make better-informed decisions before and during a hike. We also dive into the growing number of search-and-rescue calls happening across the country, what might be contributing to the increase, and the tragic story of a thru-hiker who lost their life on Katahdin.
