I always appreciate great video. Video (to me) is either aesthetic or technical and trying to bridge both is tough. This video from CMC is clearly technical, but I really appreciate the angles of perspective. So often the “clarifying message” of “the how” can get completely lost if the angles are not right. The CMC …

CMC MPD ~ Two Rope Offset ~ TTRS The MPD allows you to go from lowering to raising without changing hardware. More than nine years of research and development went into the patented Multi-Purpose Device (MPD), which features major innovations in advanced technical hardware for rope rescue professionals. The MPD’s high-efficiency pulley, with an integral …
So as most of our community knows… we incredibly excited about the Two (Twin) Tension Rope System. Technically, it isn’t new, but newer. The system, like most paradigm shifts, need some time to acclimate. Not the system mind you… the teams, individuals and thus expectations, goals and SOPs. Rather than try to create “new” information …
Collaborative Precision: Mastering High-Angle Rescues with Dual Rope Systems In the intricate dance of technical rescue, team-based scenarios serve as both a challenge and a vital learning opportunity, unfolding in the complex terrain of high-angle environments.

Class 5 Litter Handling It may be necessary to lower the litter and rescuer past a roof or overhang. In this event, it will often be best for the litter tender to get his or her legs through the spiders or above the spiders so that he or she can hold the litter away from …
Steep angle litter work can be about as difficult as any high angle rescue. The main reason is that the litter attendants will have to pick and choose the terrain while still maintaining patient contact and visual. This isn’t always doable and often teams are working with minimal personnel so choosing a system that works …
