Part 3: "More Than Just Tools: Advanced Equipment for Rapid Extrication Teams – Part 2"

In the second half of our equipment discussion, we explore the specialized and often overlooked gear that can make or break a wilderness rescue mission.

Join us as we complete the list of essentials and highlight what’s missing from the current NWCG guidelines.
