About US
We are a dedicated team of volunteers united by our shared passion for the outdoors and our commitment to helping others in their time of need. With over 50 years of combined experience in wilderness hiking, fishing, and hunting, we possess an in-depth knowledge of the woods and mountains throughout New England. Our team includes experienced trackers who know how to navigate even the most challenging terrain, ensuring no missing person is left behind.
Many of us have served as members of local volunteer fire departments and are certified Emergency Medical Responders with the training to provide immediate, life-saving care in critical situations. Whether it's an injured hiker, a lost camper, or someone in distress in the wilderness, we are ready to respond quickly and effectively, leveraging our skills in both search and rescue and emergency medical response.
We take pride in our ability to work alongside local law enforcement, fire departments, and emergency services to provide a seamless, coordinated rescue effort. Our mission is simple: to save lives, protect the wilderness, and bring people home safely.
With a deep love and respect for the natural world, we’re here to ensure that everyone who ventures into the wild returns home safely. Whether you’re a seasoned outdoorsperson or a novice adventurer, we’ve got your back in the New England wilderness.
