Ian, although I have spent a fair amount of time with your team,
I have almost no idea what are the major unmet SAR needs in your
normal area of operation. That's where I would focus attention.
In my local area, the highest priority skill sets probably are:
licensed ham radio operator, backcountry motor vehicles of any
kind (bike, ATV, truck), wilderness first responder, excellent
cross-country navigational skills and (most important!) ability
to perform hasty and/or night searches.
