Description
E-MTB SAR, Land Vehicles, and SAR vs MoPs. In the seventh episode your hosts Richard Prideaux and Ben G talk about a recent news story from Slovenia, where a team is trialling the use of E-MTBs in SAR. They discuss the pros and cons and then briefly talk about an accidental beacon activation. Luke Stonestreet then joins in to discuss land vehicles. Almost everything is discussed, from bikes to the favoured Landrovers; hovercraft and tracked vehicles to Alpine stretchers. Finally, Richard and Ben tackle the topic "SAR and MoPs; how do you deal with them on a search?" A bit of a tricky subject when emotions are running high.
