The Perfect Combination

Teaching a MLSO class? Consider using Lost Person Behavior as part of your class. For many instructors this is the perfect combination when conducting the map exercises that are integral to the MLSO class experience. Students will then use the most up-to-date information, get a chance to see different ways of thinking about where to look, and most importantly practice with the right tools while still a student. Case discounts are available for Lost Person Behavior.
