Mission Project

By Tyler Newberry

I set a serious goal after moving to Summit County, CO. Moving to Breckenridge gave me an intense desire to join the local Summit County Rescue Group. It took me two years to weave my way into three months of meetings, trainings, seminars, gear buying and soul searching. This past January I was interviewed and invited to be a member.

I will be enrolling with Colorado Mountain College to obtain my EMT-IV certificate to even better my aid to the area and the group. Another goal to reach. The photo included is me with my first purchase as a rescue member, a Mountain Hardwear Conduit team jacket - something I am proud to wear. I have fully enjoyed the shell; not only does it say MOUNTAIN RESCUE but it says MOUNTAIN HARDWARE! Thanks for the good gear pushing me on.
