In our case, our org (Norwegian Red Cross) buy the equipment using sponsor money and the like. Then we get reimbursed by the government for using them in SAR operations. It works well enough for us to have maybe 4 snowmobiles, 2 6-wheel ATV

I just got my master's degree in Sweden, and have been living of (really cheap) state loans since 2016, so this is not representative of what kind of money I have had available for these years, rather how much income I've reported
