I just got registered and wanted to say howdy, and thank Equipped To Survive for a wonderful site and opportunity to interact with you all. I am the Training and Safety Officer for the Granite County Montana Search and Rescue team of the Sheriff's office. I am retired from Army Special Forces and a former SERE and Utah State University survival instructor. I look forward to learning lots from this forum and look forward to getting to know many of you, again, thanks much for the opportunity to join your discussions. JB in MT
