In this episode, host Zach Urness reposts a conversation with author Glenn Voelz about the rise of Oregon's search and rescue, from the pioneer age to the modern era.

Voelz is author of the book "Oregon Search & Rescue: Answering the Call," which covers the state's best-known searchers, high-profile disasters and how both shaped modern search and rescue.

The book and podcast cover famous disasters on Mount Hood, how groups such as the Mazama's began Oregon's early search and rescue tradition and even the state's biggest political crisis.
