Ep. 13 - The High Route: Arguments for Avalanche Airbags
This episode is a repost of an interview that was first posted on The High Route Podcast. Hosted by the editor of The-High-Route.com, Jason Albert, we discuss my background in wilderness medicine, and then move on to discuss the research that support my argument and assertion that the avalanche airbag backpack should be standard equipment for backcountry skiers, snowboarders, snowmobilers, and anyone who regularly works or recreates in avalanche terrain.
