Celebrate your Search and Mountain Rescue Personnel Holiday Heroes with a gift from MTN Shop
The holidays are a time to give thanks to those in our lives. This holiday season, we’re highlighting the men and women who work during this time, from mountain rescue to emergency service personnel. Those working in the Search and Mountain Rescue are on call year-round, all day long. They work hard to keep up with their rope climbing, first aid, and even water rescue skills. When someone is in need, they’re called to the scene to come to the rescue, no matter what.
Not everyone can take the holidays off and spend quality time with their families and friends. Millions of Americans, USA Today reports nearly 25%, worked on the holidays this year. That means nearly 1 in 4 of your friends or family members are sacrificing their holiday so you can enjoy yours. Here at MTN, we want to celebrate and acknowledge their service by giving them thanks this holiday season.
Important work needs to be done around the clock, and that’s where these people come into play. Without their hard work year-round, many people would be affected around the world. This week, we’re taking a look at those in Search and Mountain Rescue.
We’re thankful for search and mountain rescue personnel
From forest fires to lost hikers, search and rescue teams work hard year-round. With movements such as #OptOutside during the holidays, their services are becoming more and more in demand. The #OptOutside movement was started by REI, who closes their doors on Black Friday and encourages their customers and employees to take to nature rather than the stores. With over 10,000,000 people using the hashtag on Instagram alone, the need for search and rescue personal naturally rises.
Search and rescue personnel go through rigorous training to ensure that they are capable of performing under pressure and in dangerous situations. Often, their jobs require travel and long hours saving people and preventing disastrous situations from happening.
Take time to thank someone you know in the industry this holiday season for the hard work they do and treat them to a special gift to keep them safe and at their best when on the job!
