Hi There! I am Adrian Moreno, the host of STAY ALIVE, a podcast dedicating to spreading wilderness survival awareness and provide a platform to the Search and Rescue community. As a prior Navy search and rescue swimmer, I was given an opportunity to expand my knowledge base on outdoor survival. That training came in handy in December of 2014 when I became lost in the Grand Teton National Park, WY. Since my experience, I have a mission to make survival techniques and information available to everyone.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stayalive/support
