SARCast - A Search and Rescue Podcast

A New Era Begins & Life as a Lowland Rescue Search Technician :: S4E1


Listen Later

SARCast is back for Season 4, with some big changes.

From this episode onwards, the podcast is a collaboration between Stonestreet SAR Store and Outdoor Professional, with Richard Prideaux stepping in as the main host for the next few episodes.

Luke Stonestreet and Richard discuss the transition, future plans for the show, and why Richard is currently sporting a questionable moustache.

This episode covers the evolving landscape of search and rescue, including the growing professionalism of voluntary SAR teams, the impact of technology on operations, and what to expect from future interviews.

Upcoming topics include Coastguard rescue officers, women in SAR, and insights from international search and rescue teams.

Later in the episode, Luke interviews Joe Appleby, a newly qualified Lowland Rescue Licensed Search Technician from Berkshire Search & Rescue (berkshirerescue.org.uk). Joe shares his journey from civilian to operational SAR member, the challenges of training, and the reality of balancing voluntary commitments with family and work.

The conversation also delves into the role of kit in SAR, the evolution of team equipment, and the growing presence of Stonestreet SAR Store patches and gear in the field.
