Group Search Systems

RIT's Group Search Kit makes large area search and RIT team operations a safer task. The standard kit is set up for a four person team and provides a lifeline to the outside for each member. For searching a large area the optional marker system of knots and rings assists in performing a systematic search and prevents duplication of search areas. The knot and ring system assures team members of their location and exit direction. RIT operations are also supported with this system. While searching for one of our own we have a tendency to search harder and longer than normal. Each RIT team member is not only connected to the outside, but the system also leads secondary RIT teams to their location for assistance and/or supplies.
