Thank you all for your posts. From what I gathered, seeing the homepage down and the other SAR sites not giving the course anymore, I assumed it was broken down now. I appreciate all the offers for powerpoint and other files, but since I downloaded all of the webpages I could find (around 5 really good ones) as MHT files, I think I am covered.

I agree with you guys about starting them early. I plan to do just that. Plus I will ensure that they have what they need when we go to the great outdoors.

I was a little troubled at one website I found. It said that you should have a whistle and trashbag, but it also said to have flexible, reflective "mirror" for lack of a better term. I was very concerned about this, as I am almost 31 years old, and I have a hard time using a signal mirror. I cant imagine a scared child, alone on the woods, trying to signal a passing plane, helo, or other hiker.

Just my two cents, but that you all so much for your help. I am so excited about being a dad and finally having a reason to go camping, again!!
