@@LFAnon thanks. I have made some slight changes over the last year or two. For one, I don’t use nearly as many wraps with the green rope through the grommets
I noticed you didn’t put anything under her knees. If a patient doesn’t have anything under their knees most often they’ll lock their knees and lose circulation and hyper extend leg muscles which causes a lot of cramping and soreness. Many units will fail you for this. Great video!!!
Great video with some solid tips and tricks I haven't seen anywhere else! I really liked the head flap adjustment system. Quick question. The red purcell through the harness was tied off on what looked like P550? Any particular reason you went with that?
Thanks! 550 cord loops are just a convenience thing. a two strand Purcell Prusik can be used here as well and would just be girth hitched to the bridal rope close to their shoulders. With small 550 cord loops , it helps whatever side you clip the end of the Purcell Prusik to from moving around. I’m not overly concerned with this having to be super strong or highly rated because it is just intended to hold the patients body weight.
@@mtninstitute Or the single strand Purcell could be easily cloved onto that same point of bridal rope. I love the single strand Purcell. It makes the tool so much less cumbersome. In the name of progress, I will challenge your P550 connection point in the most friendly way. My argument is that you have already placed a harness and 7mm or 8mm cord to secure your patient in the sked. If you did go vertical orientation in a high angle rescue, and let's say the patient went unconscious(where the leg loops were deemed useless, I would feel a lot more comfortable knowing I had something a little(or a lot) stronger than P550 holding the majority of my patient's weight up in the sked. It is highly unlikely that an unconscious patient could slither their way out of a sked in vertical orientation but my core is telling me it's possible. Just throwing that out there to see what you think?
@@xavier564 really great points. That is totally valid not wanting to go into tiny little cord when the consequences are higher. Especially if it is very easy to go to something more secure. When I rig for high angle, pure vertically, I add an “upside down” v with a 4th Prusik. Making a full X to mitigate any upwards movement, just in case they go heads down accidentally. I appreciate the comments. Makes me realize I need to keep improving, adding and building upon these videos!

Great video. Love your mods and methods.

@@mtninstitute Hey Dave, what kind of (red) cord are you using? I notice you have something similar in green on your harness
Also! What kind of pants are those? They look awesome with the pockets on top
