Awesome video

Very helpful thank you.

How do I go from want to join to actual join? I am in Piedmont NC. Also, loved the reference to Rhododendrons. Never understood how thick they can be until hiking Grandfather Mountain.

Well done Sir

Great video and thank you. I know this is an older video but can you recommend a source for the watch band compasses like you showed. Take care and be safe.

I liked your video and packing ideas for SAR. The Bossy bag sucks in bad weather. It is too high and just a big trash bag. Please review TheOutdoor gear review.

great video, thank you!

Not a bad vid but slow down a bit and get a better microphone and most of all go thru the gear in more detail and also put in cut away shots with close-ups of the gear you have ......

One thing that I saw on another video (not something that you ever think about) that was really helpful is to use like a food saver. You can use that to condense different items down like clothing so it takes up less space

Thanks for the share... getting ready to start SAR :)

MICRO SPIKES

EVERY ONE SHOULD CARRY A RESCUE LINK

Am i the ONLY Search and Rescuer Who has BOTH NIGHT VISION Monocular - & Seek and FLIR Thermal Scanners How else do you find a HURT PERSON or UNCONSCIOUS Person in the MIDDLE OF NIGHT

What is that thing you refer to as a toboggan?

Great video but you went over everything so fast. That's OK but, it would have been real nice if you could have put an equipment list. Then I could have gone back over each item at my leisure. Please put a list.

Great video, thank you for explaining where things go.

Great video! Thanks for sharing, I work for SAR and get sent out every hurricane and sometimes get sent to Mt.Everest. Hope you be safe out there it can get dangerous. Once again, thank you for sharing.

A gun or bear spray is a good idea too.

Great video and info. Thanks!

What size pack?

Excellent information, however, the sound seems to be a little low.

Thanks for posting Jeff. What Deuter pack does your team use?

Woo Buddy! Just found this my friend!

What pack is it

Great video Jeff. I have just one suggestion/request and that would be to include links for the products you use. Thanks again for the video.

Thank you for this video and for the selfless work you do. I am a Chaplain in Colorado and plan join SAR in the area I am retiring to.

Thank you!

I got in to ysar

Excellent video I learned a lot. I do SAR with the Civil Air Patrol. I took a headlamp, removed the headband and installed a belt clip. I clip the head lamp onto my belt and aim downward creating an excellent walking light, lighting the ground ahead of me. I still have my headlamp on of course. If I am doing urban work with a team around me, I can turn the headlamp onto red and not blind my team members if I am using DF equipment. Thank again.

Thanks for sharing. I'll be putting together my own pack soon, so this is really helpful

Very nice, thanks!

What is the make and model of your chest rig?

What is the weight of you pack?

Great explanation of your kit

How did I miss this seven years ago. Awesome! I have also heard that the special small carabiners that ENO put out in 2012 or so stretched out and bent. Happy hammock camping

Jeff, this was a VERY practical video. This is an outdoor activity often laden with mistakes. You are detailed in your information and directly apply some of the math we learned from Ron. Impressive. The filming was also great. Simple and fun. I think I’ll actually use this next year when I lead trips for my school - my students will need to understand proper angles when assembling their hammocks and you’ll be there for them! Thanks!

Very good job Jeff. I like the fact that you used an everyday kind of activity to explain the very complex concept of tension on a rope/cord. I like the way you present yourself in the video. Very professional. I also like the comic relief, it was very subtle but yet noticeably funny. The only constructive critic I have is that some information was repeated several times, but I think that for someone that has no idea what you're talking about it, it is good to hear it twice.

Yes...also. If I weigh 200lbs, and stretch my hammock straight and taut, the force on the anchors will be 10X the weight or 2,000 pounds of generated force!

Yes. Ron gave us a chart in the curriculum which reflects this. 0 angle is 10x, 45 angle is 75% weight on each side, 30 angle is 100% weight on each side

Excellent! You need to make Sn Outdoors series...and when you do, I want 10% for Intellectual Property:-). Is it 30% for every weight? and multiply weight by 10 at 180 degrees? Thank you. I've learned.

Ha ha ha. In fact I have lost 8 pounds in the past month! I have no idea exactly how we're are supposed to critique these.....do you know?

160 lbs? Who are you kidding? Just kidding. Job well done, very thorough.
