  • Great educational resource for aspiring adventurers and leaders!

    I love the work you are doing with the rescued podcast. I have them posted in a couple of my outdoor education topics as required listening. It's a great way for them to access and engage with real case studies.

    So, thanks for providing a great resource!

  • Much needed content!!!

    I’m so glad this podcast exists! The learnings from these stories are extremely relevant to my adventures and being made by outdoorsy people for outdoorsy people it goes into a level of technical detail that most survival style podcasts don’t. I also love that this is an Australian podcast so the places and risks are familiar. And Caro is the loveliest person IRL - met her on a Christmas run through empress canyon and had a great chat!

  • Thank You

    I have loved listening to every minute of this fantastic podcast. Through personal stories, experiences, vulnerability and courage, hikers and rescuers share their stories. These stories are expertly guided by Caro and every single one leaves me more informed and respectful of the potential dangers our beautiful natural places carry if we are not well prepared.
