Hi everyone,

My name is John, from here in the great NW. I am a retired (after 21 yrs) Air Force Medical Logistician. I now do Search and Rescue as part of my daily life and I incorporate over-landing as a part of it and a basis for some of the gear that I carry. Having a open knowledge of these areas help provide better sustainability while out searching for longer periods of time. I am also a HAM and a EMR.

I believe my knowledge in all areas help the overall end goal. I hope I will be able to talk to a lot of you and not only learn from you all but maybe provide some input to help.

Talk to you all soon

John

Hey John!
I got all excited when I saw the title of the post until I realized you're in the other Vancouver! Haha.

Welcome to OB. I am a Paramedic for the Province here in BC and just retired from SAR work, for now anyways. I bet we would have some stories to share around a campfire!

Welcome aboard, glad to have you with your knowledge to help other folks in your areas of expertise.

Welcome to the community. I did some SAR for a while up in Snohomish County. Really enjoyed it. Would love to hear about your experience in Clark County.
