I did omit the space blanket and phone charger as being part of a large group, chances are the missing searcher would be found in short order. These are day searches from what I understand, not 24/7 until the subject is located like many SAR teams do. For large searches you have an Incident Command structure that is set up with communications, medical care, food, latrine facilities, signing each team out and back in, maps showing search grids and what team did them, etc.... It's quite the operation.
I am such a doofus! Trying to scan through a few cases too quickly, my eyes landed on the term missing searcher and I swear, my heart stopped. Lol Just goes to show you how important it is to read things thoroughly.
Do you guys think there’s very many people who might want to search alone, forego the entire operations and go check points of interest to themselves? I hope not. That’s what scares me the most because that person would be at greater risk if something went wrong leading to injury or getting lost...
Also, on a personal note: I’ve always thought that you @Trackergd is who I would most want to be on my case if I ever went missing out hiking, camping, etc. You have this all down to a science! Just sayin...
