Welcome to the TECHNICAL RESCUE site, home of three PRINT titles, one Digital-only title, six Digital-only BUYERSGUIDES and, eventually, an extrication manual.  All of our titles concentrate on equipment and techniques (rather than news and policy which is well catered for in other industry magazines) with Gear Reviews, Market Guides and techniques articles. Details of each issue are on the SHOP page but to make things easier for the free pdf versions you can can just click on most front covers to get them rather than have to use the shopping cart. However, if you use the shopping cart we can then send you links to future issues automatically.

​

Brexit, Covid, climate catastrophes, energy/cost-of-living increases, an interest rates surge and the shameful invasion of Ukraine and a shockingly similar situation in Gaza have all adversely affected most aspects of life across the world, some very much worse than others. We have been fortunate in being largely unaffected having been able to shed unnecessary costs like the office ! but there are production delays and there have been big increases in costs. Otherwise, it's business as usual for us - we were never on time even before all this madness! 

Because we now have 10 publications to produce  

our print magazines are now 3 times per year instead of 4.

Regulars will know that we rarely get out more than 3 per year for any of the the magazine titles so you won't notice much of a change!  

The PDF versions of all our magazines are currently FREE-to-ALL.

them automatically each issue. You are welcome to share these links

with friends and colleagues and via your websites and social media.

​

Mailing costs and reliability continue to be ridiculous and you can circumvent these by purchasing our magazines from a STOCKIST  currently in UK, USA, Canada, NZ, Belgium, Germany, Australia, Hong Kong,  We had to increase PRINT subscription costs in 2022 for the first time in a decade and now need to increase print subscription costs for 2024 following a whopping 200% increase in costs so print subscriptions will remain at US$25 but will now be for 3 issues instead of 4 and $40/6 issues (plus an total additional $5 or $10 post outside of the UK/Eire and USA/Canada). Digital issues are free to all and any readers that make a purchase or simply request via email will get the digital version sent automatically each issue until you ask us to desist or your email changes! All readers will receive the active link to the annual BUYERS GUIDES which will be updated every week on the same link.

WILDERNESSSAR originally called  PARKRANGER pre-issue 5. The title was changed to better reflect the coverage which, while including National Parks was thought by many to be exclusively for National Park rangers. It is the same magazine covering Wilderness Search & Rescue, Mountain and Cave Rescue, SAR Helicopters, Search Dog handlers, offshore marine rescue and National Parks personnel. Rope, search and water rescue techniques/equipment form the core of every issue. Also search techniques, heli-ops, trauma, offshore (lifeboats) rescue and surviving in the great outdoors inc. modern clothing, packs, tents, boots and electronics.

 

ACCESS&RESCUE is our FREE  Emag but is currently on-hold through 2024 while we compile the BUYERS GUIDES. The Emags provide background to all the print magazines as well as rope and difficult access. Now presented in the same Page-turning format that digital subscribers to the print magazines get. If viewing on a Mobile it is best to click the cloud/download icon to sharpen the image and present as single page view. This larger file can take a short while to sharpen.

ACCESS&RESCUE emag  previews what's been in and is coming up in the magazines. It has unique and archive articles and product information. 

                           ACCESS&RESCUE will return twice a year later in 2025. In the meantime, one of the sections in ACCESS&RESCUE is PRODUCT RECALLS & SAFETY NOTICES so we'll list new ones here again until A&R comes back:
