Sar Tech Course 49

[@92DDO]

This video makes you guys look cool..what I've been looking for on KZbin, after countless lucky to be alive channels. Of which these people rely almost solely on you true heroes, is what struggling-lost people could do in these survival situations to signal you. Air or land. If you posted a video breaking this down, you'd be the first ever apparently. Much respect to you all. My humblest thanks n respect for you all n what you do.

[@revenevan11]

I agree, there needs to be more info on this topic for the public. There is an episode or two on "Flight Chops'" KZbin channel in a mountain flying and a survival course series, respectively, where they talk a bit about choosing clothing and blanket etc colors to stand out based on the terrain (in their case that they're flying over), as well as the value of a good signal mirror or (safe) signal laser and how to use them. One of the best things you can do to help SAR find you is to narrow the range/area they start out having to look for you in. In the case of pilots that means filing and updating their flight plans even when not required, with detailed remarks even while in the air if they change course too much, so people will know where to look if they don't make it or check in with an update before a deadline. This of course is also applicable to hikers too, let someone know where you're going to be and carry a radio or emergency communication device. In the modern day satellite ones capable of sending messages including text (able to bluetooth to your phone to type) are very compact and lightweight. I'm completely a novice, not a licensed pilot or at all experienced in wilderness or survival situations so I'm sorry if anything I've said is wrong or bad advice, but I hope the information I've regurgitated is at least a bit helpful!

[@dylanweller8897]

this is absolutely correct! The pilot suggestions are bang on. For hikers do not rely on your cellphone. Typically people get lost where there is no cell service. You need a satellite dependant mode of communication like a PLB (personal locator beacon). The other main thing we see in SAR is people in the water without life jackets. Lakes, rivers, oceans, ponds, dont care. wear your life jacket please

Awesome video. Huge respect for your skill sets and commitment! Love the class camaraderie.

[@gogetyourowngear4251]

You guys should really get outside more and try and have some fun!.....awesome video!!!

[@Stylemaster911]

Great video! Super cool to see the backgrounds of everyone on the course! A few interesting remusters from people who were already SOF Operators, Pathfinders, Recce Pl, etc. But also cool to see AVN/AVS, Sig Ops, and other trades. Really shows that stuff like this is a mindset!

[@droneranger2041]

If I ever get lost, please send these guys!

[@jameson1239]

Depends on where you get lost

Amazing job, Would be the best thing in the world be part of CSAR

[@mikeshawbrook-selfreliance]

Excellent !

[@garychristiansen783]

Nice video. Thanks for posting. You make it look like too much fun though. I have to speak to the DS. See you for your medicals!

[@MrSilicon605]

HIGHLY UNDERRATED AS OPPOSED TO THE USCG...CANADA HAS THE BEST

[@jameson1239]

The US has there own equivalent called the PJs there a special forces group and only do military rescues SAR techs are a combination of rescue swimmers and PJs as they do both civilian and military rescues

[@scott9805]

Nice video, well done guys.

this is amazing.

Amazing video well done!

[@AndrewSuperSwag]

Hey Dylan, Amazing video! Really well made. I was wondering what your opinion is on the best career to make you most prepared and qualified to then become a SAR Tech? I've been looking into the position a lot lately and it just looks like an incredible job. Based on your description it's obviously extremely competitive also. Thanks for any advice you can give!

[@dylanweller8897]

We take any trade, and i dont believe any trade gives you a massive advantage over anyone else considering how many skills sets we require to maintain, you're guaranteed to still not be good at something. With that being said the medical phase is the most difficult, therefore medics have a significantly easier time through that phase. it just wont make you a better parachutist, mountain climber etc. Pick a trade you enjoy if for any reason you do not become a SAR Tech. hope this helps

[@dylanweller8897]

@Ramtin Shekari great question, I'm completely unsure of how decommission works with the reserves as SAR Tech is a non commissioned trade, so youd have to look into that. But you need 48months consecutive service to apply. Hope this helps

[@lukasg9031]

This is awesome! Maybe my future occupation! Are these guys (SAR) like the American PJ’s?

[@dylanweller8897]

Thank you! We are similar to American PJ's (our friends) however they have a combat SAR program to which we do not. Our SAR is domestic, we have a podcast as well "The SAR Take" if you're interested or want to reach out we can help get you this occupation!

[@lukasg9031]

@@dylanweller8897 cool! I wish they had combat search and rescue. Hopefully Canada will think of putting a regiment together. I’m only 15 but when I’m older I’m thinking of becoming a SAR tech or joining Canadian special forces. I’ll check out the podcast 🤙🏻

[@lop139]

Perfect !!!

[@Granaree]

Hey Dylan, how do you manage to remember all of the information for every rescue scenario, especially when you (seemingly) don't have many realistic scenarios to practice?

[@dylanweller8897]

We do our best to prep for the worst and hope for the best. Typically SAR rescue scenarios are grouped into larger groups and we work on the insertion and extraction of said groups, ie. person in water = helicopter and hoisting whereas plane crash = parachute in, extract via helicopter... All the inbetween stuff is medical skills (which we continuously work on), rope rescue skills etc..

[@sanjis220]

i made up my mind! i am going to become search and rescue!!

[@hickorysocks2628]

Sanji S Did you?

[@jameson1239]

Hickory Socks it’s 4 years of military’s service then a year of actual SAR tech training give him another year

[@brendoncote4860]

Hello there! Great vidéo! I am back from a 1 year World tour and I am joining the military. I would love to become a SAR tech at some point. I have a few questions for you: I think we need 3-4 military years prior and the process takes about a year? I am 27 years old now. Is it still possible if I am in good shape or is there an age limit? Thank you in advance, Brendon

[@brendoncote4860]

Meaning I would be 31years old After my 4 years in the military

[@dylanweller8897]

Most of the people on my course were in their 30's. SAR wants life experience and skills from people, you've got lots of time! But yes, 4 years continued service before transferring to SAR

[@ericturner4850]

i always thought they wanted the young lings would they still let in younger people (20-25)

[@a98tacoma]

great vid!!

[@jameson1239]

What was in your opinion the toughest part of the course?

[@dylanweller8897]

Mentally the paramedic phase is very condensed and tough to keep up. Physically I would say dive phase was the toughest

[@jameson1239]

Dylan Weller that’s what I figured thanks for responding

[@mercenarymoose1058]

more importantly... do contestants on price is right pay the taxes?

[@4dumpy657]

I would really like to become a SAR tech. Once I graduate grade 12 my plan is to join the military and serve 4 years active force before applying to SAR training. So if I join at 18 work my 4 years and apply at 22 could I do that? Or is there a minimum age required because becoming a SAR Tech is my ultimate goal. Old video just looking for clarification

[@dylanweller8897]

4 year continuous service or 3 if you pick combat trade. No min age
