Mounted search and rescue

[Tm' Fi <tfinkle@erols.com>]

It is a requirement for all of our MSAR team members to be 
self-supporting resource for 72 hours, which means all team members 
supply there own food and water for both horse and rider.  Our team will 
always have a Base Camp Manager on site who will be tasked with 
logistics.  The last thing we want to do is be a burden to a search 
manager, so all that is needed is a task assignment..

About a year ago our team was deployed to Williamsport PA and the search 
manager thought that he needed to supply us with food and water.  He was 
relieved when we advised him when we told him all that we needed was 
space. As for manure regs, we have been known to carry ours out. 
Although your dumpster idea does have merit, after all it will end up 
in a landfill.
