A Must for SAR,
By
This review is from: Analysis of Lost Person Behavior (Paperback)
This book is a must for SAR incident managers and team leaders. It is very useful for other SAR personnel. It does not give some magic formula that divulges where a lost person will be found, but it does cause searchers to think about assumptions they make, consciously or unconsciously, about the likely behavior of lost subjects. As is so often the case, what is really harmful is not what we do not know, but what we think we know that is not so.
This is not a book for the casual reader who wants stories about SAR. It is a dry compilation of statistics on lost person operations. There are collections of stories and anecdotes that would be far more edyfying and satisfying, but for its intended audience of SAR professionals, this book is indispensible.

dry but valuable,
By
This review is from: Analysis of Lost Person Behavior (Paperback)
Although the author's analysis and commentary are minimal, the data in this book is still a valuable addition to any SAR member's library.

Great SAR tool for making evidence based decisions,
By Ian Powell (Miami, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Analysis of Lost Person Behavior (Paperback)
I was pleased with Mr. Syrotuck's approach to the topic of lost persons. It is completely evidenced based and factual. There are very little opinionated claims to cloud the judgement of the readers. This tool helps enables the SAR professional to make the best possible effort in finding persons based on age, mindset, and terrain. Thanks for the great effort and I'll look forward to reading your future works.
