If you enjoy the outdoors, learning new skills, and working as part of a team, then you are a excellent candidate for SBCSAR. Search and rescue is extremely demanding, requiring highly trained and physically fit members. Team members must be able to travel through a mountain environment in any weather for extended periods of time. Most team members begin with limited experience, but have the time, eagerness and dedication to learn. Specialized equipment is provided by the team; however, the vast majority of equipment required is normal outdoor gear and must be purchased by the individual team member. Those starting with nothing can spend several hundred dollars on gear.*It is recommended that applicants wait to purchase gear until equipment is discussed in the academy. | ![]() |
