Manage episode 362562242 series 3392696
It's been one heck of a snow season for the Sierra Nevada mountains. In this special episode of Bush & Banter, co-host Jennifer Mabus interviews Ned Tibbits, Founder and Educator of Mountain Education Inc., on how to safely trek through ice and snow. Tibbits has been a wilderness instructor for the last 40 years and was in the first batch of thru-hikers to ever hike the Pacific Crest Trail back in 1974.
Tibbits has worked as an urban and rural paramedic, USFS Wilderness Ranger in the Sierra National Forest, volunteer & professional Ski Patrol in Lake Tahoe, CA, Federal Emergency Manager (FEMA), Sheriff's Department volunteer Search & Rescue in Lake Tahoe, CA, adjunct instructor for an Emergency Medical Technician, and so much more. His accomplishments include thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 1974 and the Continental Divide Trail in 1980, as well as completing a 5,000 mile bicycle-camping trip in Europe in 1979.
He currently heads Mountain Education Inc. (MEI), which is a completely FREE wilderness school "to teach aspiring hikers what they need to know and do in order to have safe, fun, and personally rewarding outings in our awesome wilderness heritage!" MEI is a non-profit, public charity wilderness school that was founded in 1982.
