Love these two. I love how they have a genuine interest, they're respectful of the missing people and their loved ones, they thoroughly research the areas and can bring in their own insights from their own expertise and time out in the wilderness. They don't claim to be experts, but I love it when they share their thoughts on the terrain and conditions. And it's neat when the cases take place in areas they have been.
