LOL!"Geotactical" Are these guys 12?
I took part in an ARES exercise recently where the scenario was a complete dispatch coms failure in the county. They set me up as the dispatcher in the EOC, used a runner from the 911 call center, and I dispatched to our repeater and then via mountain-top relays to our two most remote fire stations. We employed 4x4s to get our portable stations to high elevations.i thought it was a good way practice skills and techniques used in sar and just locate locations containing resources a group might need in times of bad weather or time sensitive recon of different campsite or geocache styled poker runs. developing navigation skills with gps and or paper maps/compass or setting up radio communications or mesh nodes for special events.
