In this ADK Talks episode, we have the privilege of speaking with Jeff Berry and Elena Lumby, two dedicated members of Search and Rescue in the Northern Adirondacks (SARNAK).
SARNAK is an all-volunteer organization based in Saranac Lake, primarily serving the Upstate New York region. It works closely with NYS DEC’s Forest Rangers, who, in addition to protecting and managing forests, parks and wildlife habitats, play a vital role in ensuring the safety of visitors. SARNAK also collaborates with other law enforcement agencies and first responders to assist with backcountry emergencies.
Jeff and Elena delve into the rigorous and comprehensive training the SARNAK team undergoes, instilling confidence in their ability to assist NY’s dedicated Forest Rangers in any backcountry emergency.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Stories from their Search and Rescue experiences
- Why “cotton can kill” in the wilderness
- How Snickers bars, Swedish Fish, and Stewart’s chocolate-covered espresso beans are good for you
- Why you shouldn’t go into the woods without two headlamps
- The rise in wandering seniors
- Where to learn about the 10 hiking essentials
