You can’t skip out on learning from a guy who has a lot of experience. Good decisions, bad decisions, and dealing with life. Fred is a great example of not just a full SAR career but a full military career. There’s something you will enjoy in this wide ranging conversation.

Paul Comeau and I chat about his military career and what he has learned along the way. We also chat about SAR, what the flying life is all about, and a potential first trade that i have not recommended before. Paul is a great advocate for the military and it’s worth listening to his advice.

Thank you for joining, check out the website thesartake.com for more information, share the podcast and perhaps physical fitness is something you’re interested in:

This was originally recorded in 2021 and in honour of one of our fallen; Alfred Bar (R.I.P Mar 08/2017). We talk about life, joining the military, and Joe shares some good stories. Including one of a particularly bad parachute exit. It brings in perspective the danger of the job but also the value of excellent training.

Joe is to be the next course NCO, a very loving human, knowledgeable SAR tech, and good friend. There is a lot shared in the episode and i hope you enjoy it.

To Al:

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,   

    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

    If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,   

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,   

    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

RESCUE!!!!!

Im back! This time with some funny stories from Cookie, a SAR Tech from course 42. My episodes are sporadic but I've appreciated the on going support from everyone. I balance my personal, work, and "other" time so what i put out is what i can reasonably manage at this time. Im still very dedicated to improving this resource for people and sharing what i can about the Rescue world.

In keeping with that theme I have a workout program for you to check out or share. It is a well rounded program that hits on each aspect of fitness. The program can be blended with others or followed strictly. Check out "Everyday Operator"

In this episode, I sit down with Don Adams, the lead instructor for the Canadian SAR Tech Basic Medical Course, to explore the critical medical phase of Search and Rescue training. Don shares valuable insights into what the course entails, the challenges candidates face, and key tips for success. Whether you're aspiring to become a SAR Tech or just curious about the training process, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most demanding aspects of the program.

I share my training for working out or being fit if you want to view some of it, check it out or share. Thank you

Here I am sharing a conversation I had with SAR Tech Donnovan Ball. From course 45, Donnovan is an experienced SAR Tech and has operated at many shops in Canada. We talk about many things, including unique opportunities in SAR and how someone can prepare for selection.

Enjoy, and thank you for listening

I must start by thanking everyone for sticking with the show and showing support by listening and sharing with others. I'm posting a quick few minutes to share what is going on with The SAR Take and a promise that episodes will continue to be produced.

Expect about an episode per month and occasionally nothing, but I'm also available for questions or help through email.  

Than you again for listening, if you or someone you know is involved in SAR and would like to share on this show please email me.
