Research In The Field
Rules to Search By
| Cordon off the incident area with surveyor Plastic Florescent marker tape or crime scene tape. | Treat the location as if it is a crime scene. |
| If subject touched anything, (hurling rocks or boulders, disrupting camp, handprints on windowsills, glass, etc.) leave things where they lay until you can collect and bag the evidence properly. If it is dark, wait for light. | Use latex Gloves |

Eyewitness Kit: Mold-itIN/B00000ISLH7 Use Plaster Cast Kit to make casts of prints or other evidence. This kit can also help the novice learn the proper techniques he will need in the field. To find other kits use the search box below. |
Keep samples separate and uncontaminated. |
| Place important photographs, videotapes, recordings, or other such evidence in water-tight containers for transport back to headquarters. | Use GPS receiver to document location of each piece of evidence. Document camp locations using GPS for future expeditions. |
| Use range finder to estimate location of subject or incident so a size comparison can be made. | Use Two-Way radios to relay important information back to base camp or to other members of the tream. Keep the noise to a minimum. |
| Set up surveillance equipment before making camp | Each team member should have a GPS to prevent getting lost or to be able to radio for help in the case of an accident or injury. It can also lead others to your location to help at an incident scene. They can relay last known location of those who are waiting for your return. Always travel in pairs for safety. |
| Make sure you have a complete first aid kit with you | Carry a battery powered weather radio to track possible storms in your location. |
| Always carry plenty of batteries, film, digital camera discs, or video tapes. Never record over any already recorded items until they have been transported back to headquarters and gone over by a team of experts to determine if there is any information on them that is of value. | Make sure you have plenty of matches. Make sure you use safety when making any fire. Make sure it is out before breaking camp. use water to douse fire and stir ashes. If you can get away without using a fire, this is a better method for your field research. MRE's will allow you to not have to cook. Sterno is better than a fire. |
| Use a hand held voice recorder to record your voice as well as sounds and voices of others during your hike or during an incident. Using a parabolic mic is even better, especially if you have it hooked up to a recorder. | Use night vision goggles if you are moving around at night. Even while in camp you may be able to catch movement outside the perimeter if you are wearing the goggles. This allows you to see in the dark and you don't have to have a fire for light. Using the head type allows you freedom of movement and continuous coverage without having to pick up the binoculars and point. |
| Bring along a laser pointer for that occasion when you are trying to direct your team members to look at something in a location in the distance which is difficult to see. it also makes it easier to direct others to evidence. | Use the same care you would to prevent bear attacks unless you are deliberately trying to draw the creature in. Keep food supplies hung in trees at night and bury your trash or carry it out with you. |
