Ways to Help

Donations

The greatest way to helps us is by donating. Our team members are mostly self funded with expenses typically around $5,000+ per year. Team members drive from all corners of the state to train. None of our professional volunteers are paid or reimbursed for mileage or fuel, and our board members do not receive any compensation.

100% of all donations go to the field and go towards operational expenses, purchasing equipment, and funding additional training opportunities.

Training Grounds

We are always looking for new training grounds. We routinely train in the same areas and having a variety of training grounds helps us prepare for any scenario. If you or someone you know has property that meets or comes close to meeting the conditions below we'd be happy to talk about your property, contact us.  

What's needed for training grounds :
  • Around 250 - 300 acres of accessible with mostly forested property. When training we will often split an area into sectors for our various disciplines. A single team often needs around 20+ acres to search. A variety of terrain is best so we can try o prepare for any situation.  
  • Vehicle access and an area for team members to park. Our team members drive from all over the state (and some even out of state), team members usually have AWD or 4WD vehicles. We are extremely aware of our ecological footprint and impact and always carry out any materials we bring to the property.  
  • Weekend Availability. We typically train on weekends (Sunday) and once a month at night on Saturdays. It's not necessary for us to be able to train on a Saturday night, but we do at least need to be able to train on Sundays.
  • Structures are nice to have, but not necessary. Our missions may (and often) require us to search buildings, sheds, barns, and other abandoned structures in a variety of conditions. Having these on your property is immensely helpful when we train.    

We have liability insurance that protects our landowners who loan us training grounds. Safety is always our top priority and we are extremely grateful and respectful to those who let us use their land.
