Hi Members,
Ok folks let’s try this again in dry fine weather…
This is the 2nd part of Improvised Rope Rescue as a continuation of Part 1, November 2020 session.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn and practice the following improvised rope rescue techniques.
Rescue objectives when there is no cavalry:
# Build and operate an assisted hoist
# Build and operate an unassisted hoist (also known as the Z-hoist or 3:1 hoist, and possibly 6:1 if the going gets tough, Prepare to sweat!
We’ll also be looking at releasable anchors scenarios and how to rescue a stuck rope pull-down situation!
