Our Thoughts

This interesting DVD will bring you every detailed information you need to understand how the US Coast Guard is trained and work on a daily basis.   Thanks to the camera of Little Mammoth Media, you discover what kind of training is required to become a US Coast guard, how a rescue dog will indicate where the drug is hidden on a boat, learn how rescuing people on body of waters happen, and discover the International Ice Patrol.

I think the part where I learned the most in this DVD was when we met the International Ice Patrol which I didn’t existed.  This special patrol hunt icebergs in the Atlantic ocean with the help of a plane.     It was interesting to see how they prepare for their work and how they perform it.    And seeing them releasing a wreath in the ocean to remember the people who died during the tragedy of the Titanic was touching especially since this week was the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the so-called “unsinkable” ship.  MY kids enjoyed watching this DVD as they now know how they could get rescued if we are stranded on a body of water.   

Seeing videos like the ones produced by Little Mammoth Media is educative as we realize all the training and preparation behind numerous jobs that we would not think on a day-to-day basis.    Letting your kids watching such videos could also stir their interest in a potential future employment for them.    The Big Rescue DVD is such a video as we learn quite a bit on the different jobs that the US Coast Guard can offer for future young men and women.   The video finished with live rescue footage which gives us a better perspective on how it happens in real life.

If you have a child interested in what the US Coast Guard do, this DVD will answer all his/her questions about it.   

The Big Rescue is available for purchase directly from Little Mammoth Media either in DVD for the price of 14.95$ or immediate download for the price of 4.99$.
