SAR Bookshop

December 7th, 2009

To end the day I’m after some free market research from you.

I love books, and outside of search and rescue, my ideal occupation is to own a secondhand bookshop. I have been wondering whether I should combine my two passions and start an online Search and Rescue Bookshop?

This way I could continue to write this, train lowland search teams and so on; supported in a small way by any “profit” [I know there wouldn't be much but there you go] I make from selling books and so on. What do you think?

[Of course, once I have my Search and Rescue Hovercraft, I could use any commission from selling those to support the website too...]

Hampshire Search and Rescue Team Search for Missing Female in Netley

November 16th, 2009

Hantsar had a callout over the weekend for a missing female in the Netley area. Braving the severe gales searchers from HantsarDorsar, Sussar, Isis SAR and Lowland Search Dogs (Southern) attended.

The callout followed a phone call to the police where a woman claimed she had been indecently assaulted  in a park, but did not know her exact location. This is now believed to have been a hoax and a woman has been arrested according to the media.

Whether it was a hoax or not, the police and lowland search teams had to take it seriously and their professional conduct dealing with the incident, and searching in such conditions is a credit to them all.
