Double Bowline on a Bight for Rescue and Rigging In rope rescue, where every connection point is a matter of trust, the Double Bowline on a Bight (DBoB) earns its place through redundancy, midline adaptability, and strength. It is especially valued in fire service and search and rescue (SAR) teams for creating two fixed loops […]

In complex tower and vertical rescue scenarios, flexibility and redundancy are non-negotiable. One highly adaptable configuration is the hybrid horizontal rescue setup that combines a skate block line over a tracking line. This method allows teams to precisely manage both vertical descent and lateral movement while maintaining backup safety protocols throughout the evolution. System Overview

Two-Point Load-Distributing System In rope rescue and rigging, the two-point load-distributing system is a core strategy for building safety and stability into anchor setups. When only two viable anchor points are available, this system allows for even force distribution—reducing the strain on each point and protecting against sudden failure. The system is simple in concept

Transferring from an Anchor to an Anchor System When a single anchor point isn’t strong enough to support the system, you must connect multiple anchor points. This creates an anchor system. The system must be configured so that if one anchor fails, the entire system doesn’t collapse. This kind of redundancy is not optional. It
