| |
| - | * '''add: widely-spaced sound sweep
| |

| |
| - | === Search techniques ===
| |
| - | * searcher cube
| |
| - | * clue awareness (see lesson plan)
| |
| - | Don't use term: hasty search, hasty team
| |
| - |
| |
| - | === Type 1 search ===
| |
| - | 1 hr
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Type 1: speed
| |
| - | * hustle
| |
| - | * look in obvious places
| |
| - | * calling
| |
| - |
| |
| - | 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.
