Hi Patti-

Yes, our dog live as (spoiled) pets when we're not searching. We take extra care of their health with every vaccination known to vet medicine and they get some diet supplements, but otherwise no real "special" treatment.

Even that wasn't harrowing until she told me that in a national park you can't use bear spray. "Wha-ut? No bear spray?" She shared that the rangers just throw rocks at the bears. "Sure...uh huh."

Product Review – Garmin InReach Mini





Ruger and I go on searches all the time where we don’t have cell service. Occasionally we go on assignments where we don’t even have communications with our command post. That’s probably a bad idea but we do it because it has to be done. There aren’t always the resources to set up communication networks on the fly in remote areas.
