Thread: LandSAR volunteers should I

Talk to your company about what you are wanting. What do you have to loose? They cant sack you work wanting to join SAR.

No idea on LandSAR but Mums partner is in the local alpine search and rescue, I would assume they would co-ordinate with LandSAR for alot of stuff. He has had some cool training with the military and private heli company's getting dropped into places. Lots of "Better work story's"
It is mostly his own gear, but most people who are interested in moutaineering / Tramping / hunting already have most of their own. Key equipment like radios are not required for him as they are supplied during operations.

If its something you are interested in go for it.
