This upcoming Saturday, March 23rd, we're hosting Search and Rescue Appreciation Day at our Lincoln, NH retail location. Show your support with a donation to Upper Valley Wilderness Response Team!
"The UVWRT, founded in 1981, is an all-volunteer wilderness search and rescue (SAR) team. It is a member of the Dartmouth Medical School Community Service Committee, with 501(c) (3) non-profit designation, and a member organization of the Vermont Search and Rescue Association and the New Hampshire White Mountains Search and Rescue Working Group. The team is available for callout 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The primary area of coverage includes New Hampshire and Vermont. With advanced notification, the team is available to respond to more distant locations. The UVWRT currently has approximately 30 active members, who are trained in SAR operations and are prepared to be self-sufficient in a wilderness environment for 24 hours without re-supply. Many members are active EMS personnel, and all are well-versed in outdoor skills. Monthly training sessions are geared towards all members attaining and exceeding the standards of the NASAR SAR Technician II and III level. While the team’s primary focus is wilderness search and rescue, we are available to respond to any need for organized emergency manpower."
