Basic Search & Rescue Student Manual

Basic Search & Rescue provides a foundation skill set from which to begin your career in SAR. Students will learn search theory, tactics and terminology, clue preservation and awareness and gain practical skills through hands-on training that accompanies this field manual such as wilderness survival, orienteering, packaging a litter and a night search exercise. While this course has not been designed to meet any particular state or national agencies training requirements, it remains in line with current offerings on the same subject and would serve well as an awareness level course of study or be a fantastic supplement to CERT or Wilderness Survival training.
