Faye, I gather ESAR = explorer SAR?

The annual Washington state SAR conference reflects this: circa
1000 people attending, including many families.

By all accounts from those with first hand experience, finding
someone alive, then seeing them die, is far harder than finding
a dead body.

There is always the risk that you will see a fellow responder
die, eg. in a vehicle accident on the way to or from a mission.

In MSAR, there is also the risk that you will see a horse die.
Perhaps your own horse.

But all these risks exist regardless of any involvement in SAR.
