Welcome back to the Sharpen Podcast, a podcast aimed at minimizing future outdoor accidents by way of

storytelling. Real people sharing real stories. This show is brought to you by

Rocky Talkie who has committed to donate $2 from every radio sold back to search and rescue teams.

This year Rocky Talky donated $75,000 to six teams through their annual search and rescue awards.

The winning teams and a short film about the featured rescue will be announced later this month with a giveaway for the chance to win funding for your local search and rescue team.

Stay tuned for this announcement on their website and social channels. Search and

Rescue Team stay tuned for this announcement on their website and social channels in a few weeks and don't forget that

sharp end listeners get 10% off by going to rockytalkie.com slash sharp end

equip gear and I recently partnered to bring you a gear bucket tote designed to haul your bulky wet and muddy gear.

Weld in watertight, this bucket saw bag has a springy hooped top room for easy loading.

It features an interior pocket and a wide adjustable shoulder strap and a top g-hook closure for

extra security that doubles as a short grab handle.

For $75 this could be yours and you can sleep well knowing that 20% of that goes back to the

Sharpen podcast so I can continue to produce this show.

These are handmade bags from Twist Washington. There are only 50 so get your soon

before they sell out. I'm really excited about these bags because they're not

only amazing tote bags but the design on them is a topo map of my favorite mountain range, the Chugach

range, that towers over my very hometown, the very mountains that taught me how to love and take

care of the wilderness. To get yours go to a quick website that's

EQPD.com or you can find the link in the link tree on my Instagram or

directly on the sharpened homepage. Homepage.
