"Oh no; they're not finding them! Would your like me to make some more tracks?"
... from 5 year old Cassidy, being helpful, as she patiently watches the Tracker I team
practice checking for her prints and direction of travel.
"Remember all bleeding, no matter how severe, EVENTUALLY stops."
... small comfort from a Mountaineering First Aid instructor At the November meeting,
concern was expressed about the challenge of transporting large subjects by litter in the

On Field Readiness
Take two small duffel bags, each a different color. One for field clothes: wool pants,
wool shirt, boots or snowpacks, extra socks, underwear. One for outer wear: coat, hat,
gloves, rain gear, Fillson tin chaps. Easy to grab and run day or night.
It's winter. Put all radios and battery equipment inside coats or vests. They freeze down
if not kept warm. Turn all water bottles upside down. If they freeze, the top always
freezes first. Now the top is the bottom and vice-versa.
