Christmas rescues, sensible children, torches/flashlights and acceptable risk. In the second episode your hosts Richard Prideaux and Ben G address some of the feedback which has been sent via any means possible. They then turn to a couple of news items from the past month, including a successful retrieval of 2 young skiers in Canada and some interesting social media comments following a Christmas day rescue. Then Luke Stonestreet joins in to discuss torches and illumination. We get a potted history of handheld and head mounted torches and discuss exactly how many lumens are actually useful in the realms of SAR. Finally Richard and Ben have a face to face discussion about acceptable risk in both training and the real thing.
