SAR (Search and Rescue) Tracker w/ Fernando Moreira

SAR personnel work to get the missing person or persons back to safety.

The training received can be used for whatever professional or leisure activity you are training for.

Training to prepare SAR members for urban, rural and night tracking under “ideal” conditions.

This course is for the SAR or law enforcement person that has the desire to become a tracker for the purpose of Search & Rescue.

The physical aspect of tracking are identical for all groups, the only difference being what each does when they catch up to their quarry.

It is an intensive course with 4 hours of classroom and 26+ hours in the field.

Based on Jack Kearney’s “Tracking: A Blueprint for Learning How” and developed with his consent, this course teaches all the basics.

The class will be held in the mountains just outside of Cripple Creek Colorado.

After class, students are welcome to stay at our established camp and kick their feet up by the campfire.   Bring your tent or camper and spend the evenings with us!

This course is highly suitable for Law Enforcement, Forest Rangers, Land Owners, Ranchers, Corrections, SAR, Outdoorsmen, Survivalists, or anybody who loves venturing into the great outdoors.

A large 21 person military tent with winter liner is provided for a community tent during class hours and may be used for sleeping at night.

Tent is complete with 2 wood burning stoves and a cot for each student. A smaller 5-10 person military tent with winter liner and is also available for private sleeping accommodations  (first come/first served).

Water will be provided but you will need to provide your own food of your choice.

We recommend quick field expedient meals such as our Camp Ready Meals or MRE’s.

They can quickly be made at our primitive camps and won’t slow down the learning process.

Our camp ready meals are the healthiest option on the market! You can also purchase food locally once you get here. Walmart and several local eateries are a close drive away.
