Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Searching - Finding purpose, laughter and distraction through Search and Rescue brings a behind the scenes personal reflection about the quiet stories of search and rescue in Yosemite National Park. Moose talks about rescues, searches and recoveries that span the emotions from tears to laughter and reveal the impact of the work on the rescuers. For every high profile big wall rescue there are dozens of low key call outs. Whether it is a car's high speed barrel roll into the river, the extended search for the disappeared or helping biologists retrieve a bear's radio collar Moose brings his spin to what it is like to be part of one of the busiest SAR operations in the world. As much as it is about incidents the book looks at the long term impacts that exposure to people's worst day have on rescuers and the lingering emotional hangover that it can produce.

Warning - This book deals with issues around suicide and traumatic events.
