Two, actually. Virginia and New Mexico. New Mexico does not treat
each resource type separately, but it has many MSAR resources and
they are subject to the same requirements as other resource types.
The major difference is that MSAR responders who go through the New
Mexico field certification process must show their saddle bags for
the pack check, and also footgear suitable for walking.
