Recommended items for Canine SAR pack: Nasar
The Canine SARTECH™ candidate must be able to show that they have all of
the required equipment as listed below. The equipment that is required
to be carried is commonly compiled to form what is referred as a
“24-hour ready pack”. Such a pack holds those items that would allow
the carrier to function in a safe, effective and efficient manner as a
Canine SARTECH™ during a SAR incident. Some items may be carried on a
belt, in pockets, or strapped to the person. This equipment should be
carried on all incidents in rural or wilderness areas and is considered
the minimum amount. Consult a physician for recommendations about
analgesics and other drugs that you may wish to carry in your SAR pack.
Other items required, additional water for handler and canine as well as
additional food for hander and canine, will allow the team to be
effective for up to 72 hours as required for NIMS Typing. The
additional food and water must be immediately available in the candidate
handler’s vehicle.
Every item on this list must be present for the candidate to
pass this evaluation. There will be no exceptions.
