Mounted search and rescue

["Thomas and Christy Matthews" <tcmatthews0113@msn.com>]

We have used our MSAR to take ropes and med supplies across a swift water 
river, much safer than trying to wade across even in shallow water.

We are also developing a pre plan for walk aways from our nursing homes. One 
home is just several hundred yards from a river that has several islands. At 
most times of the year except the spring snow melt these islands can be 
reached by dry river bed or wading thro shallow ponds. These islands will be 
designated a MSAR search area. Again because of the safety reasons.

We are looking for more ways to use our MSAR teams too. So I'll be 
interested in what gets posted on the subject.

Thanks,
Christy
