Welcome to TECHNICAL RESCUE Media site, home of three PRINT titles, one Electronic-only title 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.

​

Brexit, Covid, climate catastrophes, energy/cost-of-living increases, an interest rates surge and the shameful invasion of Ukraine 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!

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 this year for the first time in a decade and may need to increase print subscription costs a little more in 2023, probably to around $30/4 issues (plus postage outside of UK/US/Canada) but we'll stave that off for as long as possible so print subscriptions will remain at US$25/4 issues and $40/8 issues (plus $5 & $10 post outside of the UK/Eire and USA/Canada. Digital subscriptions are unaffected by mailing costs and in the new Higher Resolution PAGE-TURNING or FLIP-PAGE version cost $2.50 each, $8 for 4 issues or $15 for 8 issues. You can specify different titles for you 4 or 8 issues - just email us with what you want eg. 2xWSAR and 6x TechRescue etc.
