To help those in need in Maine's outdoors in honor of Nick Hall

Carter Hall of Patten, Maine has been training with FSAR since last summer. He became involved with us after his son Nick was killed in the line of duty in June of 2012 as a National Park Ranger on Mt. Rainier. Carter brought and used some of Nick's gear during Sunday's Winter Steep Terrain Training on the mountain.

Hall says: “My recent involvement with the SAR (search and rescue) community is to honor Nick’s short life and his love of the outdoors. I hope to help others, as Nick did, here in the Maine outdoors.”
