Powered Winches and Tripods We are seeing an interesting collision of techniques: Standard triangular pyramid tripods used for confined space rescue Asymmetrical multi-pods used for technical rope rescue and rope access Powered winches Confined space operators have long been using symmetrical tripods with frame-mounted manual winches. These are normally set up over a […]

This Video Series is Sponsored by With light weight technical rescue there are many options for managing friction but not all are appropriate for remote, small team operations. It should be possible to simplify systems if we get back to basics and consider the true purpose of high directionals: namely to manage edge friction. Too

In this video we are looking at the aggregate accumulation of force by adding multiple smaller anchor placements and building a master point from them. With each camming unit accumulating about 2,000 to 2,700 lbs of force (each) we can build a very strong anchor for single or two person loads. Topics covered in this
