You have a weird and unusual mind Jorene! I love it! I had a good chuckle
too!
<G> We have stationed folks at important radio points before but our
problem is
often a shortage of SAR members. The only real solution to this is the
repeator
locations and installation. The county is really working on this. So far we
have
never been in a position where lack of communications has been critical -
but we
are trying to think ahead. We have been in situations where even our small
MSAR
radios could not contact the next team. This is a time delay which could be
disastrous someday. For example we were on one seach in the rough area
around
here. My partner and I picked up the MP tracks. We headed down into a very
steep
canyon. We knew that another team was parallel to us but just on the other
side
of the ridge above us. Radios wouldn't work more than a crackle. Knowing
that we
needed to relay the info to CP we ended up leaving the track, riding to
where
the team could hear us shout, having them relay the message by radio (they
were
on the ridge-their radios worked), and then resuming the search. In this
case it
worked out fine and the MP was located (he climbed up to a road). But it
was a
delay of about 20minutes which I would rather not have wasted!
We do have some new and improved radios but haven't had a chance to try
them out
in the field yet. That is this week! However the weather has been
unseasonably
hot and no one wants to be out in it. (Thankfully that includes most
potential
MPs!) We're training at night this week instead. <G>

Here's an interesting site I ran across. Some might want to read it for
info on triage and trauma of equestrians especially as relates to helmet
use.

Anyone ever hear of this group? American Medical Equestrian Association.
They have some interesting stuff on their pages.
