Out Alive is a podcast about real people who survived the unsurvivable. Check out more seasons and episodes here.

We are excited to announce our new monthly series, Survival Shorts from Out Alive. In these episodes, we delve deeper into the world of survival with expert advice, fascinating inquiries, and conversations with rescue professionals. Our aim is to provide you with an informative, thought-provoking, and engaging understanding of the challenges and complexities of survival in the backcountry.

Join us as we sit down with Jeff, a Search and Rescue dog trainer and handler, to explore the world of canine search and rescue. Jeff will share his personal experiences working alongside his dog, Kismet, and provide insight into the unique bond that develops between a handler and their furry companion.

In this episode, we’ll dive into the nitty-gritty of the rigorous training process for SAR dogs and learn about the specialized skills and abilities that make them such a vital part of search and rescue operations. From tracking scents to navigating tricky terrain, these highly trained pups are always up for the task.
