Building Rope Rescue Team Competency
A technical rescue program is only as capable as the people expected to operate within it. Equipment, procedures, and organizational structure matter, but none of
Understanding Pulley Systems for Mechanical Advantage
Pulley systems have been used for centuries to move loads with greater control and less effort. The same basic principles once used in maritime rigging
The V Anchor System for Mirrored and Twin Tension Systems
The V-anchor can support several rope-system configurations with relatively little equipment. In this application, it provides a practical foundation for lightweight wilderness rescue using mirrored
Anchor Angles and Load Distribution
Anchor Angles and Load Distribution Anchor angles affect how the load is distributed between the legs of a multi-point system. The wider the angle becomes,
Fast Fours Mechanical Advantage System
Mechanical advantage systems are often selected by balancing two competing needs: the force required to move the load and the speed needed to complete the
Using Fast Fours for Fallen Worker Recovery
A fallen worker may remain conscious, uninjured, and capable of assisting with their own recovery, yet still be unable to climb back to the working
The Academic Blueprint: A 5‑Step Approach to the Fundamentals of Technical Rope Rescue
