I'm interested in setting up a small network of S.A.R.A's or Search And Rescue Argies.

My thought was that we have 3 or 4 argies (painted red?) and located in key areas with their own dedicated bed

Then, if someone shouts for help, anyone can fast travel to that bird, kit up and fly to the rescue.

As fast travel drops any items, each bird should have the following in its inventory at all times:


  • Two sets of Hide Armour
  • Two sets of stone or metal weapons and tools
  • Two full water Jars (or waterskins which will need to be filled)
  • A campfire
  • Four torches
  • Some wood or thatch
  • Compass (or GPS).

It would mean we can get in and rescue someone quickly whilst not being ill-prepared. All that would be needed is the rescuer to fast travel in, suit up and go, grabbing some meat on the way for food.

It would be up to the person being rescued to resupply the bird before it's returned to its original location on standby. Obviously both rescuer and rescuee would put back the armour and weapons before fast travelling / flying back or continuing their activities.

The argies would need to be located in areas where there are existing troughs so they nab some food and locations suggested include

1. The Volcano (To cover the N and NW)
2. Near the Red Beacon (to cover the SW)
3. Near the Green Beacon (to cover the Centre and SE)
4. Possibly a location NE (tbc).

Oldie and Sneaky have offered up their respective bases which would cover points  3 and 4 and the Volcano would be ideal.

The beds would need to be clearly marked for Fast Travellers  (SARA Volcano, SARA Red, SARA Green etc) and I like the idea of them being dyed red for ease of location in (potentially) a crowded base.

Anyone think this is a good idea?
Anything else to be considered as core inventory?
Any other area need to be covered and a location for the argie?

If deemed a go'er, anyone fancy helping out with this and volunteering items?

Obviously the birds themselves, the dyeing and the saddles would be the most challenging to pull together.

I am willing to set something to set up one near my base, as i don't think having one in the snow area is really helping but one near it might.

Great idea, Pen. Count me in :thumb:

Just a thing:

The volcano maybe only needs a bed in the crater it self and a bird to use, otherwise more metal nodes will be gone.

I'm up for helping out, as I was one of those who needed to be rescued. Untill Grim/Ice mentioned that while looking through the scope you can call back your birds also.

Thanks chaps :-)

I propose to a mass Argie tame in an area where we can do 3 or 4 at once. Oldie has offered to help but others would be appreciated. If we can get a prime meat run going it shouldn't be too bad.
