Excellent pack! Greetings Robin!
Great stuff. I would keep that helmet as a souvenir. And get another one to wear everyday. One day when you're older you can have that as a memory.
I agree with you on the heavier pack...I use the Gregory baltoro 65 and it carries weight so well...I'm in the 25 to 28 lb area depending on how many days I'm out and it is so comfortable...Rated for 50 lb I barely can tell I'm wearing a pack at 25 lb...
Yeah fully packed with water and food this pack gets to just over 25lbs And still is very comfortable because it holds everything close to my center of gravity.
Nice setup. What brand jacket are you wearing?? I think if there was a chance of having to spend the night I’d add a small ziplock of instant soups, oatmeal and one of those woobie military poncho liners that you could use with that tarp. Also I’m always curious how people can participate in search and rescue working a full time job? Tks for another good video!
It’s my favorite light weight Hunting/SAR jacket. Orvis PRO LT Softshell Jacket. Good call on the poncho I’ll look into it, if it doesn’t take up to much space I might add one. As far as food goes you are correct 👍🏼 I didn’t add any of the food I normally take in this video because everyone’s diet is so different and I didn’t want to suggest anything specific. As far as volunteering with a full-time job, it pays to have a remote job,that’s flexible with your hours. But even if you don’t majority of callouts are in the evening or at night and on weekends, so you still might be able to contribute even with limited hours. Some companies and managers are OK if you tell them ahead of time that you are part of search and rescue and that you might need to leave work or start later randomly throughout the year since you are on call.
How does it work with the callouts??? Do you meet at a central location then all carpool to the search location??? You said that sometimes helicopters are used…that’s pretty cool. I did search and rescue for awhile back in high school with the sheriffs dept but never had helicopters in the mix. How long do you have to get going once you get a call??? Sorry for all the questions…pretty interesting stuff and much more involved/technology than when I was a volunteer back in the 90’s.
It all depends on the the team. Private or with the sheriff. Most of the time a call out is initiated by some sort of mass communication I.e an app, calls, texts email, whatever that team uses. The call out will include the location of the command post normaly at a nearby trailhead where the person was last Seen. You then respond to the coordinated or in the app when your ETA would be and they will start planning a course of action and create search areas for teams once they arrive. Helicopters come in to play if the agency or team has access to them. Not all do. If the victim is very remote like suspected to be 5miles or more from the trailhead or road access then they will sometimes use a helicopter to drop teams in the remote search areas instead of wasting time and energy hiking to the search area.
Nice review
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
