Not sure, couldn't see any vessels in the area, no other activity, assuming night training

C295 RCAF Kingfisher out of Comox doing some very slow orbits between Hornby and Texada right now, down to 90kt

It was a breezy crossing today. Many fuzzy flappy ears on the sun deck

Drones and aircraft do not mix. It's becoming a big issue for rescue crews everywhere

Coquitlam SAR also

Whistler Cougars:

C.O's are responding to aggressive cougar activity Singing Pass trail area
No one was injured.

Multiple incidents including chasing, stalking, close proximity to bikers & hikers. This is unusual and concerning cougar behaviour that has led to several trail closures.

Whistler Wildlife Update: Cougar sighting on Singing Pass trail at 9:53AM June 25th. If you have plans to hike into the back country, reconsider them. Sighting has been reported to the Conservation Officers

SAR tip: If you're trying to rule out reports of emergency whistles being blown on a trail and have someone on scene investigating, send them an audio recording of a varied thrush bird call that they can play out loud.

If the birds answer back ... you know 😁

It's still making the rounds. We had W3W call 2 weeks ago, was taking time for everyone to verify and download the app remotely with patchy service. Luckily we had someone on the ground who could get us the actual coordinates so it didn't matter but it was a seconds count end of day CDFL trauma call

*starts slow chant*

do it .... do it .... do it ....

Viral hiking post spreading life-threatening misinformation, SAR manager says | CBC News The social media survival tip advises hikers who become lost to change their voicemail message instead of calling 911 immediately.

Folks, the viral hiking advice to "change your voicemail" if you get lost hiking is doing the rounds again. I addressed this previously in 2021 the last time it went around.

You cannot change your voicemail when you have no signal.
If you do have signal, dial 911.

I'm not entirely sure he wouldn't. He's erratic with his decision, and changes them at whim. If he can spin it in his favour or his ego is bruised, all bets are off

I don't disagree. The warning ahead of time gave an offramp for everyone involved while showing a response without a casualty count.

I guess we'll see what pretence the administration tries to sell it to the American people. They changed their tune to "regime change" within hours

Only took GB2 a month to build up 130,000 troops. Early days

US said the same thing initially about WW1, WW2, Korean War, Vietnam the Persian Gulf (both times) and Kosovo.

Limited engagement never stays that way

Ministry of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness (EMCR) – Just released it's yearly analysis report for GSAR. Interesting read for SAR folks

www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/pub…

but have you tried slut coffee?

Depends on the scale I guess. We've had several large scale rock fall and mud slide calls in the Sea to Sky last few years that SAR responded. But ya HUSAR for the big stuff.

We've tossed around the idea of doing some urban HUSAR training here since we'd most likely be isolated if the big one hit
