Short Haul Training-Coming to an End

Fri, 12 Apr 2013 13:29:13 -0600

Our helicopter is leaving today and we’re sorry to see it go! But a few weeks ago on a beautiful sunny day, we invited a few community members to help us train. Not only was the training interesting (and exhilirating!) for the participants, the team members were able to practice on people other then team members which helps with improving communications and other aspects of short haul.

A huge thanks to Missy Falcey and Bill Newton for volunteering to help us out!

One year ago the TCSAR and Wyoming K9 SAR family lost our friend and mentor Ray Shriver in a helicopter crash that claimed his life. Ray was a father, partner, teacher and friend. In Ray’s years of service as a member of Search and Rescue he participated in well over 900 missions and saved countless lives in the process. Please join us in commemorating the anniversary of Ray’s death by remembering his life.

Night Search

Thu, 14 Feb 2013 10:21:53 -0700

TCSAR spent another late night out searching for and finding two lost snowmobilers in the Gros Ventre Mountains. The party of two, which was riding one rented snowmobile became stuck and then hiked to some remote cabins in the Fish Creek area. They were found by search teams around 11:15 pm. When venturing out in the Winter remember to always be prepared for the unexpected night out. Carry at least food, water, clothing, headlamp and a fire starter.

New Short Haul Members

Ready to go!

Smooth Ride

TCSAR began their short haul training for the winter season this past week. This year we are welcoming several new members of TCSAR into the short haul team. While this is undoubtedly the best ride in the Tetons we sincerely hope nobody needs it this winter. Time to brush off the becon and get in some early season practice. Stay safe out there.
