Had to Ride The Other Can Am Today

[SAR41]

Sat up on a mountain top today acting like a plane crash. Had my ELT Transmitter and waiting for my Search & Rescue Crew To Come Find Me!!
Thought it would be better to use this Can Am instead of the new one I just got! lol
Couldn't find the 4X4 button anywhere on the Spyder so went with the Commander 1000 XT.

I was found within 2 1/2 hours. Way to go team!:clap::clap::clap:

Who was doing the searching? I'm guessing it was not the Civil Air Patrol.

Question: Would like like to see that drivetrain in a Spyder? :dontknow:
Pure CVT drive, and "3WD" capability...

Search & Rescue

Who was doing the searching? I'm guessing it was not the Civil Air Patrol.

I'm a volunteer member of my county's Search & Rescue. Have been since 1995. We have a mostly volunteer group and are part of the Sheriff's Dept. I have been Commander for several years and one of the instructors for our training.

I have a couple friends in the Civil Air Patrol and when we need them they will come and assist us. Life Flight and Air Med also join in with us on a lot of our missions.

For the exercise we had yesterday, we only had our search & rescue members involved. We just purchased some new equipment for ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter) location. That's the signal a planes box will emit in the event of a crash. The new equipment is a lot faster and easier to use. Training was a success!!:yes::yes::yes::yes::2thumbs::yes::yes::yes::yes:

All of the volunteer groups such as yourselves do a great job!
Plus it was a nice day to sit up on a mountain enjoying the view (and perhaps a couple of beers!).
Well done!!:bowdown:

I appreciate that. It take a lot of my free time but it always pays off. It was when I had only been in S&R for a couple years when I found my first lost child. It was a little girl 4 yrs old. The best feeling I think I have ever had was when I got out of my vehicle with the little girl and handed her over to her panicked Mom. Just watching both of them was payment for all the years I have done this to date.

And it was a great day up on the mountain top. Clear sky and just a little breeze. Perfect. Even up in the 60's, for Wyoming that's good.
