  • Jan 2010 Focus - submit your rescue scenarios with pictures for others to discuss. Perhaps you have attended a tricky rescue and have a photo to share? Look at the others for ideas and contact me if you have a new category idea. The scenarios can be made up, or training ones but remember the description and photo needs to be clear for others to picture what you are thinking.
  • Forum Moderation - if you feel a topic has become personal or not in the spirit of the rules of these forums please notify the moderator by marking the post using the "report to moderator" link. The moderators will check these reports but don't expect instant feedback as we don't just monitor forums all day.
  • Questions? - please use the "Contact" forum provided on the main menu to contact the forum administrator and owner. Questions will not always be answered instantly which does not mean they are not noted. Questions about how to use the forum should be answered in most cases by reading the "Help" provided in the main menu. It is pretty good at explaining how to do things.
  • Donations - these forums still remain ad-free, non-profit and made available by the owner free-of-charge to all those people who are passionate about technical rescue and want to share their stories, techniques, hints, tips and questions with others. Contact the forum administrator using the "Contact" form if you wish to make a donation to help keep the forums alive.
