I highly recommend the book FOG SAR by ERI. It's a SAR skills handbook (FOG
stands for Field Operations Guide). It was written by Richard Smith, Rick
LaValla, Rick Hood, Norm Lawson & Guy Kerr. I have seen some of these guy
at the annual Washington State SAR conference. They are very good and so is
the book. Last time I spoke to Rick, he was trying to get a new version
published, but I haven't seen it yet. You can contact ERI at
info@eri-intl.com or 360-491-7785.
Another great resource for training is Hugh Dougher. I think he's in the
midwest now, but he's origanlly from Washington State. He teaches Search
Management and Critical Separation. If anyone is interested in contacting
Hugh, send me an email and I will find out how Hugh would like to be
contacted.
