SUBJECT: Equipment for emergency responders - Part 5
Carry matches. I don't smoke and have been caught out needing
a campfire, only to find I didn't have any matches. A muzzle
loading pistol was used to start a fire to dry my wet clothes and
cold body on one of my outings.
I carry a tool kit with a supply of connectors and terminals.
If you use cables to connect any of your gear you should have
spare cabling or the parts and equipment to make field repairs.
I carry some solder and a propane powered soldering iron. This
has saved the day on several disasters.
I am sure that you can add to my list. The intention of this
article is to give you suggestions and make you think of things
you will need when you respond to an incident. You can be called
on to supply mutual aid communications for other agencies.
Be flexible. To borrow a concept from the Boy Scouts, "Be
Prepared."
