Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum age to become a member?
Eighteen (18)
How do I become a member?
The Hasty Team has an official onboarding process for prospective members, but to get started please reach out to htinfo@hastyteam.org to find out when our next training will be and come find out what the team is all about.
How many hours a month is the commitment?
Expect to spend 2-3 hours training each week, depending on how many rescue disciplines you participate in. There is also a full-8 hour
weekend training day each month, and quarterly training sessions that are longer and sometimes multi-day. Time spent on missions varies
based on the number of call-outs and type of mission. The average team member commits approximately 160 hours per year to training and
calls.
What if I have no training or experience in search and rescue?
.Most team members begin with limited experience. You will have many training opportunities. Assessment for full membership is based on
enthusiasm and commitment. We recommend attending as much training as possible
What kind of equipment will I have to purchase?
Some specialized equipment is provided by the team; however, the vast majority of equipment required is normal outdoor gear and needs
to be purchased by the individual team member. Those starting with nothing can spend several hundred dollars on gear.
