Finding the southern footbridge on Larch Mtn Trail #441 being taken out by a fallen tree is a prime example of why we run these exercises. #sartraining #problemsolving #lostinoregon

50+ volunteers on trail on 6 different teams today for our annual mock search. We'll be covering trails from Angels Rest to Oneonta today.

We use camo golf balls as targets to train. By priming searchers with examples of small, hard-to-spot objects, we improve their focus and recognition skills. Real-world searches demand sharp eyes, and training like this makes all the difference. #SARTraining #SAR #SearchandRescue
