Too bad in AZ the "Sheriff shall coordinate and conduct any and all Search and Resuce's in there county"

The Camelback has the GPS, Compass, Spare batteries, and a very light first aid kit.

Pen, pencil, and pad of paper are for general to various notes. Such as time, mileage, etc. etc. yes we have to account for that because SAR'S come out of different budgets then regular patrol work.

And Fortunately we don't have to conduct CSAR missions.
