I work in a SAR unit and can 100% say that the skills and training is applicable to all things that DC shares and promotes. If you have the capacity to be involved in your local SAR unit, it is often low cost and very very valuable skills. And you get to help your community in the process. Cheers
@@marcusbevz6500never once have I repelled from a helicopter. Off a mountain or two, a building and a bridge but that’s about it. A lot of it is hiking. USAR (urban SAR) I a whole other animal but still no helicopters
I do wilderness SAR. I'm a wilderness first responder and going for my wilderness emt next year. SAR is what you make of it. But it's very unlikely you're going to do high angle work or helicopter rappelling unless you are USAR / or Fire Rescue. While there is a lot of hiking, depending on your region, geography, and proximity to a population center your experience will vary greatly. My brother does SAR in a suburban area outside a major metro. They do a lot of missing kids and elderly and a lot of evidence searches. I am a volunteer with my local sheriff's office in a very rural area and we have a pretty mature SAR unit and program. We have a lot of specialized teams from UAS to Horses and trackers. We partner with over a dozen agencies nearby for mutual assistance as well as the NASAR certified members get spunn up to do pre and post natural disaster recovery efforts around quite a few states. Our K9 teams have been deployed even internationally. So your mileage may vary but there are some many great opportunities to serve along with some great people. We have one guy who does nothing but GIS maps and radio stuff and another guy who teaches and executes some amazing tracking. You should find your local SAR teams and go introduce yourself. At worst you learn about them and best you help improve some-in-need's chances for better outcomes while learning some serious skills. 'so others may live'
I looked into this, it seems like I payed for a lot of my own gear and it demanded a lot of my time, the time when I’m at work. How does one balance what seems to be really demanding of my time with one’s work schedual so they can live?
13:40, me and my wife like to use "contractor grade" garbage bags to line the inside of our packs. They're like 4x thicker than normal garbage bags and will give you full capacity in a 60L-70L backpack with enough leftover to roll the top.
Good stuff. I will say, another skill is honestly - being 'findable'. While I never did SAR, my law enforcement work often involved trying to rescue people who were in distress in the desert. Way too many times, these people were completely incapable of giving us actionable information. While some were too dehydrated, panic'ed, etc...way too many folks could not tell us if they'd crossed a road...if they saw any mountains...if they saw any structures...if they were even looking east or west, etc. If you want to be rescued you HAVE to be able to communicate effectively and pay attention to your surroundings. Just basic stuff...time...possibly distance...condition, any landmarks you've seen or passed, anything you hear, anything you've noticed, etc. You have to be able to do your part to get rescued. A bunch of "I don't know"...isn't going to cut it.
Absolutely, being findable is huge for lost persons. Some people may not recognize that even blaze orange is hard to see in some environments, so having a map and navigating and communicating correctly can save you and the SAR team so much time and trouble.
I wish there was more info about the guy or the stuff he's been on doing on SAR in general, the guy is excellent on what he's doing, and I learn so much from the vids he's been on. Right now I'm in the SAR academy and the stuff he's said had help out a lot !!! Thank you so much
Heck yeah! Hope your experience is as amazing as mine was. Crazy how much knowledge those folks carry around between their ears. I've lived out a lot of wild, remote, primal scenarios in my life. But gosh darn, you get 50 SAR members in a room, the stories they can tell and info they can share will make you feel really small really quick.
Another awesome video. You guys are filling an information gap most other tactical/prepper channels mostly gloss over or reference but don’t go into much detail.
This is also a great scenario to mention the usefulness of commercial drones. In a non hostile environment you don't really have to worry about being tracked and killed by using it willy-nilly. You can cover a substantial amount of an area very quickly, and potentially identify tools or equipment needed for when you reach the lost individual should you locate them via drone from a distance. Just another tool in the toolbox.
I have 15 years of experience in CSAR/PR. Currently instruct SAR and CSAR. Well done video but remember ear and eye pro. Majority of SAR helos have hoists.
I enjoy your videos. and your humor. You guys do a good job. I love that you got a SARs guy on to talk shop about his craft. These guys are legendary for those who know about them but never glorified in movies and games and such like everyone else. These guys are real bad asses too. It makes sense for those of us...uhm LARPers who were also Boy Scouts and a bunch of other stuff to put these skills to good use. Most of the para-military skills we learn and promote to each other are not going to get used much if hardly ever, but disasters and emergencies are just part of Life. All of the same skills we learn we could use to help someone with if we are not in a threat environment. We could do exactly the same things to hunt down and find threats, cover terrain and work in teams, etc only at the end instead of engaging or capturing them or whatever, we render aid and learn more about the situation, so we pack different stuff for that purpose. I was a Boy Scout and grew up camping with dozens of different organizations and clubs, hunting, fishing, doing weekend warrior stuff and I am still learning new things because the gear used today simply didn't exist when I was a kid and neither did the Internet the way it is used today. I am always learning something I can use from videos online even if my purpose might be different. at any time operating outdoors your activity can turn into a search and rescue , but I have to disagree. I think he should pack a Beowulf .50 for those times when he has to rescue someone from Big Foot. just before they get drug into an underground den and used for dinner...just sayin'
I am part of Trail Life through my Baptist Church. I will definitely be looking in to SAR training through the Southern Baptist Convention!!!!👍 thank you!!!
Loved this video! Great S.A.R & especially S.E.R.E tips y'all! Dirty Civilian will always have my support! Also, always great to see Mitch in the content, has the best experience and knowledge!
Sv-9 panel? It’s actually called a VS-17 panel. We used them for marking and identification in the military. Great video. Great kit. Thanks for the reminder of cordage daisy chaining.
Cool stuff. Looks slick. As someone who once stayed at a holiday in I can't look past the intro shooting your bearings with a civtak/caltopo chest mount 3" and remote mic from your lensatic compass. I know it was for intro role but it gave me the giggles. I was like... Bro you gonna dai! But summary of his approach is awesome.
We have actually taken to using plater carriers, the agilite k2 with the nestled pack is fantastic. everything you need in one grab and go set up. We don't put plates in and use the magazine pouches for radios and survival gear as well juggernaut cases for sartopo live update tracking for grid searches and extra coms capability. no need to reinvent the wheel as we say. its works for the military it works for us.
100% I’m not going out into the wilderness without a firearm and depending on what kinda game is out there 9mm may not cut it lol goes back to the “can’t help anyone before you help yourself” if you get mauled by a bear, you can’t help someone who’s lost😂
When that came up first I thought the same thing. I guess it depends where you’re searching, but around here, a compromised/bleeding/frantic human is a magnet for large predators. Even if it’s a 20# bobcat, you’d trade that hatchet for a carbine AR with 450 Bushmaster. Yeah you don’t need 12 mags, but you’d look stupid with 0 mags trying to patch a wounded hiker while you’re getting chewed on.
Loved the videos with Mitch! Would be extra nice if ya'll had an affiliate link in the description for the items he displayed that way we can find the goodies easily and ya'll get a lil kickback for your efforts ;) either way thanks and keep up the awesome content
Another pro tip about SAR teams, you get the training for free. I have been doing it for years in addition to Fire Service Technical Rescue and Wildland Firefighting, the skills you learn are very valuable, even though it is unrelated to combat don't discount the skills you learn and experience you gain.
Arrow Antenna makes a foxhunting loop that utilizes the “null” of the radio signal instead of the most powerful signal. The theory is that the null gives you a sharper bearing than peak signal. May be worth a try
Every time the point is made of "you can't help anyone if you can't help yourself." Comes up, I think about this very stupid girl I knew. I saw an article on FB about a guy who collapsed in a public transport terminal in T.O and was showing signs of fentanyl overdose. A good Samaritan came over and started performing compression-only CPR on him but refused to do mouth-to-mouth because they were worried about becoming another victim. (This was in the days before Naloxone) Some people in the comments said the good Samaritan should have done mouth-to-mouth regardless. So I explained that becoming another casualty trying to help someone reaults in the opposite effect. That's when this girl chimed in and said "well I would do mouth-to-mouth anyways, because I'm just interested in helping the other person." No amount of reasoning would convince her that that is a terrible idea. (I even brought up the anecdote that two thirds of victims of confined space accidents are attempted "rescuers.") It scares me to think that she's out there with that mentality STILL and that there are more than likely other people who think like her.
I think it's funny because they've been teaching compression only CPR to civilians for years now. It's not as effective but it works until EMS gets there. And as a former Paramedic, I would never do mouth to mouth on anyone lol
Can you provide info on what equipment used for attaching the phone to a bag like that? Mainly the MOLLE placard. Need something similar for my hunting bag. Thanks!
Hey i just came across this video and was also trying to find the molle placard for the phone mount, and after searching a bit i think i found it. It's the pals pack platform from juggernaut case
Radio enthusiasts do "foxhunting" events where someone hides a broadcasting radio and people attempt to find it with directional antennas like shown here. Because you don't need a ham radio license to receive anyone can join and radios and equipment may be available to borrow. Check out your local radio clubs if you might find that a fun outing.
A good idea is to have an "analog signal plan", in case of, for example, loosing your communication capabilities (lost or damaged radio,etc.)....for example: Carry a whistle, and blow it every certain time interval, (every minute, every 3 minutes, etc,) if you understand you're being searched for.
One thing not talked about… I was going to do a search and rescue thing locally a month or two ago. I signed up and started talking to some people, what I found was you payed for all your own gear for the most part (that’s ok you can slowly put things together as you go and somethings are donated) However the hard part was the demanding schedual. I work full time and I wasn’t sure how to pay to live and do this training for SAR. I really want that training and to get my time but then it was more like, can I make money doing this so I can put the time into the training this deserves…. No, no you can’t. So it’s a little confusing how people make this work. Maybe they have part time jobs that are flexible and they are mostly poor so they can do this?
Always carry at least a "bubble pack" walkie talkie at a minimum going out in the wilderness. Your signals may be able to be picked up by one of them and help guide you to resuce when the cell towers are dozens of miles away.
@agonicllc what fixed blade are you using? Mine that I've used for years needs to be retired and I'm looking for something a bit more robust. Thank you
What is the gear/thing he uses to hold his Phone in the front of his backpack? Never seen Something like this. It goes on your front strap of the backpack?
I've used radio direction finding to locate targets with an old-school Radio Shack Jet-Stream radio, but please drop the amazon link for the antenna he's using
Something else that I don't think was mentioned is PHYSICAL FITNESS. You can have all knowledge and all the equipment in the world and still be a liability if you can't keep up and become a victim yourself.
I know it's niche, but if you can get a good time on a tracker knife, it'll lighten your pack by a pound or two since you won't have to bring both an axe and a knife. Long-term, that pound or two can make a big difference. That being said, even though I love mine, it's definitely not for everyone, and many people hate it for a reason.
I tell folks all the time that if you're planning to be outside, either in the woods or around the homestead...... you should own a copy of the Ashley Book of Knots. There's no greater aid, imo, but folks get thrown off because they think it's just a knot-tying guide like so many cheap books you find at any store. Judging a book by its cover has cost folks a lot more than they know!
Great educational video , sure learned a lot that I would be implementing in my life. Only one serious question… umm how many squares of toilet paper or roll would be considered sustainable? 😅
We use Caltopo/Sartopo. Incident command can see where we’re at in real time. Plus we can navigate to or search areas command desires using the app. Team members can see each other depending on your sharing settings. Great app for electronic navigation regardless.
When that antenna was on your pack, I was like....ugh what's that Glock pistol doing THERE...😊 But in all honesty, I'd pay you to make me one of those cause that's actually not a bad idea having that antenna. Where can I get one of those antennas?
Would it be possible, please, to talk about that phone? Is it the regulas S8 samsung with regular Android OS? Or is it somehow different? What app is it recommended to use etc.?

How is it like being in a local Sar team? do you get repel off helicopters or is it more of hiking with a group of people to find someone lost

400 hours deep with SAR in the past 18 months. Barely scratched the surface. Always be training.
How did you find it , is it very physically demanding?
I shared Josh’s exact grin when Mitch casually claims he threw a printed frame on the antenna rig. Ultimate nerd grin session thank you bros

A Yagi antenna is very directional, both in transmit, and receive. Look up what a HAM operator "fox hunt" is and they will explain everything.

I’ve been the commander of CSAR for three years. May I recommend “Lost Persons Behavior” as a class worth taking.
that fold-up Yagi is awesome. might be able to hit the ISS with that and enough power. Might order one and give it a shot.
I built one similar and was hitting satellites with it. It was tough but worth it.
What is the bungee he pulls off at 14:43?
it a personal retention strap for helicopter operations
I give it six months before the Daily Wire remakes Last of the Mohicans with you guys and Grand thumb
What was the (appeared to be) molle panel that linked the two main straps of his backpack? The panel that held his phone?
Same, trying to figure that out! I’ve reached out to him on IG to ask.
I used to hike with Enola Gaye red smoke grenades in case i needed to get attention from beyond shouting distance.
The ATF says thats bad now.
The ATF are spineless wanna-be politicians.
I would like to see y'all track some down. Like a simulated SAR situation.
Could you do a more detailed video on how to make the Yagi antenna.
Trash bags are great for recovering body parts on a SAR op

Rockin the iPhone platinum esophageal plate!
I love how many people he just taught to crochet who don't realize it :D
Great video. good advice on 'get the training".
A good idea is to have an "analog signal plan", in case of, for example, loosing your communication capabilities (lost or damaged radio,etc.)....for example: Carry a whistle, and blow it every certain time interval, (every minute, every 3 minutes, etc,) if you understand you're being searched for.
Any chance you have links to some of the items?
Like what?
The antenna is connected to your SDR kit before connecting to your phone, is it?
Which app do you use to monitor which frequency is the strongest?
Great video! Links (or item names/brands/etc) in the description would be helpful.
Was that a Juggernaut phone case?
This
YEESSSSS I've been lookin for something like this
I really want to know more about the SDR phone interface
Ok, where on earth can I get one of those panels?
Holy shit the one way radio tracking, that blew my mind. I need a level 20 black comms wizard in my party

keeping packs dry..... try using a "compactor bag" inside. Spent many hours hiking through rivers with that and everything has always stayed dry.

Wet wool is still 80% heat retention effective so you only have a 20% loss of heat pretty awesome stuff

its a yagi antenna, basic copper wire to calculated lengths, a coax hookup, and a plywood board will do the same thing. takes 15 minutes to build one.

Great educational video , sure learned a lot that I would be implementing in my life. Only one serious question… umm how many squares of toilet paper or roll would be considered sustainable? 😅
Could you share which app(s) on your phone allows tracking other SAR unit?
We use Caltopo/Sartopo. Incident command can see where we’re at in real time. Plus we can navigate to or search areas command desires using the app. Team members can see each other depending on your sharing settings. Great app for electronic navigation regardless.
PLEASE do a video on the signal triangulation device! PLEASE
Nice video, could you please tell me which knife is the larger one, brand and model
Does Mitch have a video or link to illustrate how he put his SDR Stick together?
*If you don’t hold your gold/silver, it’s not yours!*
Same as having $ in a bank or credit union. It is yours, just not in your possession. Who do you trust though…
Awesome content
Comms setup video coming soon?
Consider a greatland laser signal. It's basically the night time version of a signal mirror in the daytime
Dude he uses the Fosa Tech SDR STK
Very based, imo
(completely unbiased)

@@BobJoe64862 22*. That was last year
@@BobJoe64862 hmm, it’s out of stock on their website
Does anyone know what kind of panel/attachment he is using to connect the phone/navboard to the shoulder straps of the backpack?
Thank God he didn't bust out a baofeng 😂
Nice video! Where can I get that Mexican wool poncho?
where the battery pack come from? i wonder where can get that.
@Dirty Civilian what pone attachment are you using?
When that antenna was on your pack, I was like....ugh what's that Glock pistol doing THERE...😊
But in all honesty, I'd pay you to make me one of those cause that's actually not a bad idea having that antenna.
Where can I get one of those antennas?
What watch is Mitch wearing?
I couldn't tell either. I have watch fever again 🤒 and the only cure is a new watch ⌚️ 🤣
It looks like Sangin Professional, Brush finish, Midnight Dial
29:29 not after that boy scout comment. That splint is going to be done up super tight 😅
What chest rig is that?
it looks like a Mayflower Gen IV
Would it be possible, please, to talk about that phone? Is it the regulas S8 samsung with regular Android OS? Or is it somehow different? What app is it recommended to use etc.?
I love you, Witch Muff! Am i pronouncing that correctly??
😂close enough like my “SV-9” panel lol
aint never been this early before.
So you can basically skip nav & comms. As you don't have any mobile data signal in most SAR scenarios.
What’s the chest phone rig he’s using?
What app is he using to see other SAR people and to be able to draw on a map and send it out to everyone else?
Probably ATAK
Using the compass near the cell phone ok?

Mike can fend for himself but get Charlie and Micah out of the hot zone ASAP!
