Well, it's a given that they're referring to the size as a minimum, but as minimum that implies that the entire list of supplies would fit in the pack and/or on the person wearing it. I have a NorthFace 1850 cubic inch bag for dayhiking, and I don't plan on buying another.Quote:

Thanx for the tip rebel. I'll have to stop by my local outfitter store or some book store and grab a copy.Quote:

In the urban settings it doubles as a club.
The ready pack is to cover *most* situations a sar tech will encounter, urban or wilderness.
As for fitting the tarp, did you include extra stuff that wasn't on the list? When you do the layout for your cert you don't need all that stuff, and you can drop some of the stuff on the list afterwards if you want. It's not like your going to show up to a tone out and have to inventory your gear for your chief.
My pack is roughly the same size as yours. I was able to fit everything for SAR II with a little room left over.
Oh, yeah, there are some things I'm adding and a few others I'll toss out after the test. The class is just another requirement for those in my department. I'm looking forward to it though. The way our evaluator described the practicals it sounded like you had to lay everything out on your trap and then pick it up as he called out the item which is why I was hear asking the questions. I'm glad to know you managed to fit it all in there.Quote:

np. And for the certification you do have to do the layout. After that, it's up to you to carry what you need. Some units may be really anal and wanna micro manage you, so they force you to do a layout of your ready pack, but it sounds like you work for a pretty laid back group.
