Type 1 has changed a little since we first learned it. The focus
+
-
is much more on speed. Getting to where the subject might be fast.
+
-
Because it ends the search quickly. Because it's where they can't
+
-
wait to be found later -- e.g. washed up on the water's edge. So
+
-
hustle at a speed that can be maintained for the entire assignment.
+
-
A fast walk, maybe even a jog. Calling. Often a trail sweep.
+
-
But all members on the trail. None in the bush on the side -- that
+
-
would slow them down. Typically one focusing left, one focusing
+
-
right, maybe a third focusing ahead. Looking for the obvious --
+
-
"There she is! In the middle of the trail, waiting for us." If
+
-
you're too thorough in a Type 1 search, you're too slow. Some groups
+
-
set up deliberate hard-to-find clues when practicing Type 1 and if
+
-
they're found they know the searchers are being too thorough.
+
-
 
+
-
We avoid calling Type 1 Searches a "Hasty Search" now because of
+
-
confusion with the term Hasty Team which doesn't necessary imply Hasty
+
-
Searches.
+
-
 
+
-
Basically it's explaining what a Type 1 search is. Then having a
+
-
team run a Type 1 search along the creek trail system and through
+
-
Dilmer Park (the small creek side park just east of the old water
+
-
treatment plant). The organizer may have set up some clues Saturday
+
-
morning.
