Here's another one. Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is!

After reading your post I understand now why you are in the position that you are! I bet you want him to win the lottery for you too. You actually need three people to fulfill your needs: a bitch, beck & call and cabaña boys! Stay safe and I hope your wish is granted.

Jack, even though you ARE cool, it is not cool to have John Mark Karr as a pen pall and a stalker and brag about it! Stay safe and say hi to Lynn. Mike Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is!

Is aerodyne really a lower tier manufacturer...
MikeForsythe replied to DougH's topic in Gear and Rigging
At the top! The Icons are made in Deland by the same manufacture that has been making both military and sport products for RWS, Mirage, PD, Para-Flite and Eiff Classic Canopies to name a few for years. It is the best and fastest growing facility of its kind in Deland and the products that came out of it while I was the Engineering Manager at RWS had the best quality and lowest rejection rate of any vendor that we used. Nuff said! Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is! -

Go here and go to page 6 for the Skyhook II Addendum. To change the Skyhook I to a II there are retrofit top and bottom plastic inserts that can be put on any Skyhook I set up. They just slip on. Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is!

Michele, Well, since my name has come up in two posts I guess I will throw in my two cents worth. The good news is that you could not live in a better place to get into SAR. California has a gold mine of SAR resources including sheriff/law enforcement, FEMA USAR(8 teams) and volunteer. Because SAR is both diversified and specialized I would recommend that you contact and visit different teams so that you can decide which discipline that you would like to start with. All will generally require two types of certification. The first is for you as a SAR technician and the other is for the use as a canine team. The later is a team certification specific to a handler and a dog. If you want to certify multiple dogs you have to test with each one. There are a variety of disciplines that canines are used in both scent (tracking) and non-scent applications. All require specific training and can take anywhere from a year to two or more to certify in. Additionally some disciplines such as USAR (Urban Search and Rescue) require recertification every two years. As to what are the best training methods…there is no one best. You get the best training by having consistency and multiple training resources. The best FEMA USAR teams have multimillion dollar training facilities. Certification requirements for the individual vary as much as the do for the canine teams. Some USAR teams require that all of their handlers be paramedic/firefighters with technical rescue training and three to five years experience. A volunteer team that searches for missing persons may only require NASAR SARTECH III, communications training and first aid to be an active responder. Being a good canine handler is a major life commitment. It is doing tons of research to find the best possible dog for the discipline and training several times a week for as long as you are using the dog for search. The dogs that are the best at it are dogs that want to work. It is their reward. It is possible to train a single dog in multiple disciplines such as USAR and wilderness but remember it is also twice the training. In USAR you can go 10 years and never be called. Local teams that look for missing persons tend to be call more often. Where I am at we do about 25 searches a year for missing person of which about half are what we call evasive searches such as runaways. Make no misunderstanding about it; if you are going to be good at SAR you will work hard. It is some of the most dangerous and demanding work that you can do. It is also some of the most rewarding. I have listed some resources below to give you some guidance. I wish you all of the best in your endeavor.

if no regulation how often would you repack your reserve
MikeForsythe replied to bodypilot90's topic in Gear and Rigging
Any sport rig with an AAD I would not go more than six months as there are just too many variables and not more than a year without an AAD. Military rigs that are properly stored I would go for a four year shelf life. Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is! -
