India Advanced Search And Rescue Group





The India class has been busy breeching and shorring today. The students have been absorbing the knowledge at a perfect pace, utilizing special tools and props that allow them to prepare for the multitude of disaters that they face commonly at home or abroad.



Some interesting thoughts arise as trainers try to implement the skills, such as the difference in strength of woods and other materials that will be availible to the India Team on their own turf. Common use of bamboo and mahogany bring differnt standards for stregth and use. ASAR members will work closely with the Bamboo Institute (http://www.thebambooinstitute.org/) to ensure that they match compressiion and tensile strengths of the materials used in the USA.
