5.0 out of 5 stars An SAR MUST!, March 28, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fundamentals of Search and Rescue (Paperback)
As a technical mountain search and rescue team member and trainer, I believe there is no better investment than this manual for anyone interested in search and rescue. It is worth its cost simply in the document resources. If every team member doesn't have one, at least have a couple copies for any SAR team!

This book provides a solid foundation for SAR organizations. All major aspects from SAR techniques to search organization is well covered. I would highly recommend this book for those interested in SAR or even for the backpacker as it provides various wilderness requirements and skills.
