What I carry in my Search and Rescue Pack

This is what I carry in my search and rescue pack on missions in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Excellent video I learned a lot. I do SAR with the Civil Air Patrol. I took a headlamp, removed the headband and installed a belt clip. I clip the head lamp onto my belt and aim downward creating an excellent walking light, lighting the ground ahead of me. I still have my headlamp on of course. If I am doing urban work with a team around me, I can turn the headlamp onto red and not blind my team members if I am using DF equipment. Thank again.

Very helpful thank you.

[@erikasadventures7074]

Great video, thank you for explaining where things go.

[@pacediver2594]

Great explanation of your kit

[@davidnobles162]

Thanks for sharing. I'll be putting together my own pack soon, so this is really helpful

[@MunroMurdock]

Great video and info. Thanks!

[@Hojiii]

Thank you for this video and for the selfless work you do. I am a Chaplain in Colorado and plan join SAR in the area I am retiring to.

[@trevelian23]

One thing that I saw on another video (not something that you ever think about) that was really helpful is to use like a food saver. You can use that to condense different items down like clothing so it takes up less space

[@marcusalancate1782]

Great video and thank you. I know this is an older video but can you recommend a source for the watch band compasses like you showed. Take care and be safe.

[@carloszenteno]

Very nice, thanks!

[@hannahbott1009]

great video, thank you!

[@pathargis7470]

Great video Jeff. I have just one suggestion/request and that would be to include links for the products you use. Thanks again for the video.

[@okdk7]

Thanks for the share... getting ready to start SAR :)

[@poervids]

How do I go from want to join to actual join? I am in Piedmont NC. Also, loved the reference to Rhododendrons. Never understood how thick they can be until hiking Grandfather Mountain.

[@marcusalancate1782]

Well done Sir

[@estebanramirez4653]

Excellent information, however, the sound seems to be a little low.

[@Democracy_Bringers]

Great video! Thanks for sharing, I work for SAR and get sent out every hurricane and sometimes get sent to Mt.Everest. Hope you be safe out there it can get dangerous. Once again, thank you for sharing.

[@stevemulholland1532]

I liked your video and packing ideas for SAR. The Bossy bag sucks in bad weather. It is too high and just a big trash bag. Please review TheOutdoor gear review.

Thank you!

[@mikelychock0310]

Thanks for posting Jeff. What Deuter pack does your team use?

[@TheNfields260]

[@Highsierrasyndicate]

What size pack?

What pack is it

[@Leolioness44]

EVERY ONE SHOULD CARRY A RESCUE LINK

[@kenthendy4370]

What is the make and model of your chest rig?

[@hikewithjeff]

Kent it is a CMC brand that I bought about 20 years ago. I really like it.

[@philemcd]

What is that thing you refer to as a toboggan?

[@yerxa2]

I assume he means toque (a winter hat)?

[@clmccomas]

@@yerxa2 Correct, for some reason that is what we call a toque in the south

[@yerxa2]

@@clmccomas which is strange because up here in Canada a toboggan is a wooden thing you slide down snow covered hills on

[@clmccomas]

@@yerxa2 A toboggan is a a type of a wooden sleigh in the rest of the known universe also. Don't ask me why we call a toque a toboggan, I only live here.

[@joshswildnzcamping3681]

I got in to ysar

[@danielgrosvenor9948]

A gun or bear spray is a good idea too.

[@3318ryan]

What is the weight of you pack?

[@hikewithjeff]

My Response Pack is 15 pounds with food and water with no overnight gear.

[@devildogsbushcraft7898]

Great video but you went over everything so fast. That's OK but, it would have been real nice if you could have put an equipment list. Then I could have gone back over each item at my leisure. Please put a list.

[@Leolioness44]

I thought the "LIST" IS AT THE END OF HIS VIDEO

[@devildogsbushcraft7898]

@@Leolioness44 no need to shout. Thanks.

[@casondave]

Not a bad vid but slow down a bit and get a better microphone and most of all go thru the gear in more detail and also put in cut away shots with close-ups of the gear you have ......
