SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Search and Rescue Weekend 2
DESCRIPTION:This is the second half of FUNSAR training. For the first half\, click here. \nThe Fundamentals of Search and Rescue (FUNSAR) course is the second\, intermediate level of NASAR courses. It provides knowledge concerning the general responsibilities\, skills\, abilities\, and the equipment needed by persons who are assigned to field operations during a SAR mission. \nThe FUNSAR course also provides the student with practical exercises in addition to a practice search mission where the students are required to have the proper equipment and stay out in the field during daylight and nighttime operations. The course content includes topics in three major areas: survival\, support\, search\, and rescue. This course is based around the rural and wilderness environments but the material is recommended as a basis for all SAR environments. \nFUNSAR provides a common point in training for the new person to SAR and allows them to accumulate the required clothing and equipment needed for SAR operations in their community. The course also provides practical experience during simulated SAR operations and in many cases is an excellent refresher course for the more experienced SAR worker. This common starting point provides continuity during SAR operations and future training of all team members. \nFUNSAR is the NASAR course designed to prepare the student to challenge the SARTECH II certification exam\, according to knowledge objectives defined in the NASAR certification criteria for SARTECH II. \nThe recommended number of hours for the course is (47) forty-seven.

His techniques of hand-engraving steel dies and pressing one at a time were used in the 1800s and earlier. After a few years of research\, refinement\, and building a following\, he worked with George R.R. Martin to make custom coins made from his series A Song of Ice and Fire. Since then\, Shire Post Mint has grown into an internationally-recognized company known for attention to detail and a high level of craftsmanship.
