WELCOME TO THE SHARP END PODCAST

So many outdoor accidents can be prevented.

But what if, somewhere… a culture existed where people could feel comfortable sharing their mistakes without shame or blame?

I am trying so hard to create that very culture.

This is the Sharp End Podcast. A platform aimed at ‘minimizing future outdoor accidents by way of storytelling. Real people, sharing real stories.’

No shame, no blame. Simply a place where people can share lessons learned- so every single person in this outdoor community can grow, play hard, and be smart.

The Sharp End Mini Series: Share Your Story!

Hi friends! I am starting to work on a new type of content project for The Sharp End and am now accepting volunteers to share their story!

I would like to feature mini conversations where listeners can submit a brief description of what happened and a 3-7 minute audio recording during their near miss or accident while out in the backcountry. Please fill out this form if you are interested in sharing your near miss! Recordings can be submitted to: thesharpendpodcast@gmail.com

Your vulnerability is SO appreciated and could be instrumental in saving someone’s life. THANK YOU!

Consider buying me chai tea once a month! That’s only $5.00 a month which equals $60.00/year. Not too much to ask, eh? This would help the success of my podcast greatly. If you find that you learn lessons from this podcast, that means you’ve found value here! I invite you to donate to the show and help my podcast grow. Thank you very much to everyone who has supported my growth thus far. I am extremely grateful!

In January 2017, three families set out on a backcountry ski trip to Uncle Bud's Cabin in the heart of the Rockies outside of Salida, Colorado. What was meant to be a fun getaway turned into a desperate search when two members of the party didn’t return from a quick ski run. In this episode, we'll dive into the remarkable story told in Devin O'Neil's book, "The Way Out," revealing not only the thrilling events but also the profound effects on the families and community involved. O'Neil, a seasoned journalist, captures the essence of resilience and courage that emerged in the face of tragedy. We explore what happened, the lessons learned, and why this story resonates deeply with outdoor enthusiasts and communities alike.
