How do you address with the concern about destroying evidence or missing evidence at night? Do you find a grid search is effective, or smaller teams, or most effectively used as a hasty search team?
I've found that for night work, using orange or green filters on my headlight helps....also on the flashlights. They can flip up if I need white lights, but otherwise, don't blind those I'm working with.

Searching at night is like searching
during the day, usually cooler and there may be more
convective air movement to make it easier for
the scent based search animals.
The basic problem for
the searcher is night adaption and avoiding flash blindness. You do not
want to use lights because they can ruin night adaptation and startle the
Horses
due to creating “monsters” with shadows and sudden movement.
It does not take a lot of light for
you and your horse to function at
night. The other advantages are
that many search persons knock off for the night giving you a cleaner area to work and most civilians are out of the area after
dark.
Based on exercises and jobs night riding
is no more dangerous than day riding
if you keep the flashlights off and let the horse
do the guiding.

Una,
Would you please expand on your experiences of seaching
with mounted resources at night? That has been a topic recently between several
of our units and we would like to know more
about what your experiences have been.
Thanks,
Emily Boote
