Very well said! I agree.

I think we need to remind ourselves that we are not talking about trail riding here. We are talking about being part of a trained search and rescue team. Sometimes being part of a team means we have to follow rules and take on responsibilities we might not otherwise do. It also means that we MUST put our personal preferences aside for the good of the team and the mission. Being safe should always be our number one concern while doing MSAR work. This includes having and using the proper gear- long sleeves, clothing with good visibility, sturdy boots, helmets, sunscreen, first aid supplies, etc. Do we HAVE to ride with all of this on our own time? Nope. Some of us have adopted the safe habits for all time use- but no one is forcing us to.

Remember - we can't effectively do our job if we become part of the problem and teammates cannot effectively do theirs if they are worried about the safety of their team members.
