Chapter 111: The correct opening mode for search and rescue

"David, if I'm not mistaken, you should be the guy who pulled the deformed car door open!" the bearded Simmons stared at Zhang Dawei carefully, and suddenly said firmly, "Although in my opinion, Asians are all about the same." But I'm sure it's you!"

Zhang Dawei laughed, looked at his partner and said, "Yes, that's me!"

The volunteer search and rescue team entered the mountain, and now it is a carpet search and rescue, in teams of two, Zhang Dawei and hunter Simmons. The two of them were searching and chatting at the same time.

Simmons was even more excited when he heard Zhang Dawei admit it, "Wow! That's so cool! Dude, those are deformed car doors, you actually opened them! No wonder you can be a boxer, I'm sure no one can compete with you!"

Zhang Dawei smiled, there was no need to explain that there were rules for boxing, and there was no need to explain that those doors might not be so strong. is also because Zhang Dawei knows very well that even if those are real, there are very few people who can do it.

In the end, his physical fitness is incomparably outstanding, in the end, it is because he is strong, it's that simple!

As for search and rescue, it's basically just patience. Now there is no daily necessities for the couple who lost contact, and even the specific location of their loss of contact does not have a general understanding, so I can only be more patient.

I know that the couple came to Kodallen to play, and they don't seem to be rich people. But it doesn't matter, Zhang Dawei's subsidy for them is issued by the Search and Rescue Association, paid by the insurance company, and it is not completely free.

Volunteers also need to fill their stomachs, and volunteers also need to take a certain amount of risk when they go into the mountains to search and rescue, even if they come prepared, even if they have good experience in outdoor sports.

"Every year there are people in distress in this national forest park, and a lot of people are looking forward to the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevada, but every year a lot of people lose their lives here. It's hard to do that, right, I just wish they were more professional. ”

Simmons muttered, this is a talkative, idle type.

Zhang Dawei smiled, he knew Simmons was telling the truth. Some people go hiking in the mountains, which is indeed to cultivate sentiment and exercise, but the rules that should be followed still have to be followed, and they still need to be done according to their ability. If it's beyond your ability or you want to push the limit, you're really to blame.

As for many people who encounter emergencies in the mountains, such as encountering animals or vehicles out of control, they can only be unlucky, and they really can't blame others for such things, but only bad luck.

"I also love sports, the outdoors. But I've always been doing things like what I'm capable of, and you know a lot of young people nowadays like challenges, and I like to see those people exercising more. But David, do you know how many people those fools will worry about them, and do you know how many resources will need to be used to get rid of those fools?"

Hearing Simmons say this, Zhang Dawei asked, "This couple shouldn't be, right?"

Simmons shrugged his shoulders and said uncertainly, "I don't know if they deliberately chose to take risks, I was only on the first few missions." Those guys lost their lives, and they chose to venture into the lake. God, I know the scenery is beautiful, but they shouldn't go for a winter swim in the winter. That doesn't prove their courage, it only cramps!"

Zhang Dawei laughed, such an outdoor sport, challenging the limit, the benevolent will see the wise. Challenging the limit seems to be very positive, but for Zhang Dawei, who loves his life, it is better not to try the limit easily, how moisturizing the days are now, and enjoying life is the first thing!

Zhang Dawei and Simmons chatted while searching, knowing that Simmons complained so much, mainly because the search and rescue association was used to completely search and rescue, or because the stupid people were the main reasons. And some people seem to be complacent.

Some national parks in the United States, such as Yosemite and Grand Teton, have official professional rescue teams due to the fact that there are travelers in need of rescue for many years, but national parks only occupy a very large part of the wilderness hiking area. On a broader scale, it is still necessary to rely on ordinary police officers and local mountaineering enthusiasts to organize volunteer rescue teams to participate in rescue operations.

Zhang Dawei's current search and rescue team is actually a volunteer team. As for the cost of search and rescue, the cost of search and rescue in national forest parks is generally included in the national park entrance fee, and the government will also have a certain amount of funding to assist. The cost of the rescue at the local police station is entirely covered by local taxpayers.

Naturally, this is also where many people complain, and my taxes have been squandered by some fools!

Some rescuers did not have enough wilderness survival training, did not know the conditions in the area, and did not have enough equipment and supplies before embarking on the hike. Still others, despite having certain skills, ignore clear hazard signs or warnings......

And Simmons complained, also because of the treatment of these volunteers.

For example, a Texas woman accidentally fell and injured herself while climbing a mountain, but she disliked that the search and rescue personnel were walking too slowly with her, so she simply called a helicopter and sent her directly down the mountain to the hospital.

Government agencies, social volunteers, and insurance and search and rescue companies sometimes have endless accounts.

The cost of the rescue at the local police station is entirely covered by local taxpayers. The cost of the army's rescue is often factored into the cost of exercises and training. Volunteers generally do not charge a fee, but equipment is purchased through corporate and personal donations.

Of course, this makes people feel uncomfortable, so volunteers like Simmons are sometimes not so warm-hearted. I really expect them to go into the mountains for several years to search and rescue without pay, and that will not pass.

Zhang Dawei was listening, because he knew that Simmons was doing this for a reason.

There's nothing wrong with being a volunteer, but who doesn't want to make a little more money, and if any, volunteers receive some subsidies, but they don't have much. It's much less than the revenue of those search and rescue companies.

is also because Simmons is really talkative, and being idle is idle anyway, and it's not bad to listen to more complaints, which can be regarded as something to do. This search has always been a troublesome thing, don't expect it to be done overnight, it's really unrealistic.

Headless flies generally wander around the mountains, really not hesitating to look for a needle in a haystack, and there is no approximate range of missing contact, only to search within the range of speculation. There is not a single daily item, so white is now also useless heroes.

Because the dense forest obstructs the view, in fact, the area of search and rescue is relatively average. There is really no way, and the corners and corners have to be found, so I am worried that those people will be covered by bushes and the like, which naturally greatly reduces the speed of search and rescue.

After looking in the mountains for a day, he still found nothing, but after chatting with Simmons for most of the day, Zhang Dawei gained a lot.

There are some eye-openers about the plight of some of the people in distress, or the way they did their death. In the end, Zhang Dawei is doing search and rescue, this is just getting started, compared to the relatively experienced Simmons, Zhang Dawei is only a rookie. Even if Simmons looks a little low-end, he has more experience.

And the conversation between the two is not only limited to search and rescue, but also hunting.

Simmons is a hunter, and this guy's hunting experience is incredibly rich. As for Zhang Dawei, even if he was given two knives, he would dare to fight with a wild boar, but Zhang Dawei was still more curious about hunting.

Hunting is very exciting, and it requires a lot of professionalism, you need to understand the habits of some wild animals, you need to follow some 'unspoken rules' among hunters, you need to know some hunting regulations, etc.

Legal hunting, although it may seem cruel to some, is legal and it is a very popular sport. However, just because hunting is legal in the United States does not mean that hunting is arbitrary.

There are strict legal restrictions: hunting a specified species and number of wild animals at a specified time and place is punishable by severe penalties if the hunt is illegal.

For example, Zhang Dawei's previous way of hunting wild boars was actually illegal, not that wild boars were not allowed to be hunted. If hunting in the United States, the hunter must bring the prey back, kill the prey indiscriminately in the hunting ground, leave the prey in the field, and waste wild resources wantonly, regardless of whether there is a hunting license or not. Obviously, Zhang Dawei is breaking the law.

Zhang Dawei smiled, breaking the law is breaking the law, and he can't be guilty of not knowing about this matter, but because it's really troublesome. So keep a low profile, as long as you don't get discovered, as long as you don't get reported.

Moreover, Zhang Dawei can be regarded as the type who does not make big mistakes, but it is unrealistic to expect him to be absolutely law-abiding and a model citizen. Then use the method of hunting, that is, the female beast, especially the female beast with cubs, the hunters basically do not kill. But Zhang Dawei killed the two wild boars, and the means were clean and neat, and there was absolutely no politeness!

As for the next search and rescue mission arrangement, etc., this is Brown to communicate with the people at the police station, Zhang Dawei only needs to work hard. This is also in line with Zhang Dawei's style, if you can use less brains, you can use less brains, which is very worry-free, and hard work is actually what Zhang Dawei is better at.

Although the search and rescue is a race against time, Zhang Dawei and the others did not plan to search and rescue at night, the difficulty and danger were too high. As for Zhang Dawei, he naturally drove home, and at most he would rest for one night and then come to search and rescue, which was a time-consuming and manpower-consuming work.

"Dad, you don't take the baby when you go out to play?" As soon as he got home, the baby pounced and denounced, "The baby also goes to play, the baby takes care of Bai, Bai likes the baby!"

Zhang Dawei was happy, pressed the baby's head to make her turn around, and pushed the muttering girl forward. This has been nagged for a day, Simmons is very good at talking, and there is a more chatty baby when he comes home, and his ears are not idle!
