Search & Rescue-Seeking the Lost
|
Mission Objective: To have the Battalion use the profession of Search and Rescue to learn about the value of denying themselves in serving others, in rescuing the lost, and in attending to the needs of the injured. And to help young men appreciate the lengths that God takes to rescue everyone from an eternity of separation from Him.

TRACKING HUMANS IN THE BUSH
- How to track people in the bush HOW TO TRACK HUMANS IN THE BUSH. In this video I build on my previous video on the basics of tracking and discuss the principals of how to track people in the bush. If you know how to track humans in the bush it could help you to determine whether those who you're tracking are a threat to you. You can also track someone who has gotten lost or track people who have the resources that you need. Tracking humans can tell you a lot about the person who's spoor (signs) you are following. Are they favouring a leg? Are they carrying something? LIVE READY (Jan 15, 2022) |
