That describes me also, except for the BA in psychology. We also learned tracking, etc. - in the Pine Barrens of NJ, no less.

From what I've heard, many SAR groups have now adopted "unconventional" methods such as man tracking and trying to get inside the head of the lost person.


thseng, didn't come across as a flame at all. Thanks for the reality check and feedback. Interesting that SAR groups appear to be adopting this approach. Any info you have time to PM or email me on this would be much appreciated.

Nicodemus, thanks for the ideas, especially the heli-mounted FLIR. That's especially funny, since I just did a FLIR self-portrait the other day at a science exhibit. smile
