Old Bill's Highlight #3: Friends and Family are Everything

Pieces of gear are replaceable. Friends and family are not. That's why TCSAR volunteers will do everything possible to help reunite a lost or injured individual with their family.

"The greatest reward for being a volunteer is helping to reunite injured or lost individuals and seeing the reaction of their friends and family when a rescue goes well," says Keegan Pfeil, a TCSAR volunteer since 2015.

Halfway through this Old Bill's Giving Season, you can help make that life-saving difference by supporting the team through the TCSAR Foundation. To contribute, just click the Old Bill’s button below. Thanks for helping TCSAR volunteers stay Rescue Ready — no matter what.

R is for Rescue: A new TCSAR Coloring Book Features the A to Z's of SAR

How do Teton County Search & Rescue volunteers stay fit for duty? What do the terms "pumpkin hour" and "screamer suit" mean? What does a "short haul" look like?  

Answers to these questions and more can be found in Teton County Search & Rescue Foundation’s new publication, R is for Rescue, an activity and coloring book now available at Valley Books, JH Book Trader, Wilson Book Gallery, Teton Toys, and on TCSAR's website (www.tetoncountysar.org/shop).  

R is for Rescue contains custom coloring sheets, word searches, 'Mad Libs', a helicopter maze, and a big glossary of SAR vocabulary. The book is designed to introduce members of the TCSAR team, to show what training and rescues actually look like, and familiarize readers with the vocabulary of mountain rescue. Ages 8 and up.

R is for Rescue sells for $9.95. Wholesale inquiries may be directed to caryn@tetoncountysar.org. All 100 percent of proceeds benefit TCSAR.
