Wilderness Search and Rescue

Wilderness Search and Rescue (WSAR) involves specialized teams responding to emergencies in remote outdoor areas, such as forests, mountains, or trails. These teams use skills in navigation, survival, medical aid, and rescue techniques to locate and assist individuals lost, injured, or in danger. They often work in difficult terrain and weather conditions, employing tools like GPS, maps, ropes, and helicopters. The goal is to ensure safety and provide timely help, often voluntarily or through emergency services, prioritizing efficient and respectful rescue operations in challenging environments.
