(thats not counting the BK radio that is worth more than my fourwheeler <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />)

I pay for it all out of my own pocket, but keep in mind I also use this equipment for much more than just SAR.

Thanks for bringing up duct tape. It's lacking in that department with only a small roll in the repair kit. I'm gonna look for stuff that I can wrap a few feet around. Where can one find orange duct tape?

Handsaw is on the want list along with a new knife.

I keep the socks, bandana, and gloves in a ziplock bag, but the jacket and vest pack much better loose. The sleeping bag is also kept in a dry bag.

Thanks again for the duct tape reminder!!!
