On the Fourth Day of Christmas...

On the fourth day of Christmas, TCSAR gave to me… nerves of steel.

TCSAR volunteers are often called to jump into dynamic, rapidly changing situations. So it helps to be calm, cool, and collected. Turns out they even do this on their own time, as volunteer Lizzie Watson clearly demonstrates (she's the calm one, btw).

On the Third Day of Christmas...

On the third day of Christmas, TCSAR gave to me…commitment to community.

Helping the entire community is at TCSAR’s core. Few things demonstrate this more than the team assisting the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole during the Old Bill’s Rubber Ducky Regatta, part of the biggest fundraiser of the year for every nonprofit in the valley.

So the volunteers don the dry suits, jump into Flat Creek, and keep those duckies swimming (while also testing their shallow water navigation skills).

On the Second Day of Christmas...

On the second day of Christmas, TCSAR gave to me… super pro high-angle rigging.

After a lot of practice, that is!

Rigging for rescue is just one of the many disciplines the volunteers attempt to master during their extensive SAR training. The skill is critical to help someone who is injured in steep, technical terrain.

Learning the ropes takes time and dedication, attention to detail, and just a wee bit of untangling.
