aardwolf,<br><br>I like the scenario you are working up. My one comment concerns the Speed of Walking estimates you are going to use. For a 6 year old child in a forested area these estimates of speed seem too high to me. You may not actually care because this is a simulation, but I think estimates for even downhill in a forest would not exceed 3 MPH for a child or even an adult if this is a NW forest with lots of underbrush etc.<br><br>I usually do not calculate my speed when walking in a forest, but I do not think I could do 4MPH when I was younger and far less fat <br><br>I will be interested to hear how the cadets do on this. I am glad you found the secret info on the BC SAR site to explain some of the information in their cheat sheets.<br><br>
