About the webinar

Part 2 of a series that delves into training and trialing in large area searches. Strategy is essential to finding all of the hides! Moving up the levels means working more and more complicated search areas. The areas sometimes get really big, and you might have to work hard to cover the whole area effectively. This mini series focuses on the pieces of being successful at training and trialing large area searches. Part 2: Strategies. Every search area is different. How you approach a large area may depend on its layout and the parameters of the search. This part helps you understand how to approach searching a large area and what you need to consider. Includes a downloadable handout with a summary, checklist, training log and more, so you can plan your approach to each large area and review what worked. About the series: Each mini webinar runs roughly 1 hour, including Q&A. Each one stands on its own, or you can watch all three. The topics build on each other, but you’re under no obligation to get them all. The other parts are Part 1: Pacing & Coverage and Part 3: Training Approaches.
