Rope Rescue Course (Part 1 of 5) | Progress Capture Drop Loop System

In this firefighter rope rescue training video, instructor Sean Cogan of Harken Safety and Rescue discusses the progress, capture and drop loop system.
Below is the video transcription:
I'm going to start from the top, basically go through a different evolution of a progress capture drop loop system that we really like versus going into 3-to-1s and 5-to-1s. It's quick, less equipment, really all you'd need for single person load.
We set the stage for this, one or two people show up, and it's a minimal amount of equipment, and you need to make access to somebody. This might be like 50-degree slope beside a bank or whatever else. We show up, somebody's down there, I want to go get them using the same pieces of equipment we've already been using. I’m simply just created my anchor out of the end of the rope.
If we want to look at this really close, this is just a couple of round turns and I've finished it with a bowl, but I'll try to rig this pretty tight up to the beam. This pigtail is actually the safety part of the bowl. I kind of want this hanging here because I don't want it to be mistaken for anything else.
Two round turns, bowling. And I want to actually use this as a high anchor as well, but I've got to get over the fence to make the rescue. Most of us traditionally train, we walk up here, build an anchor, do whatever, and what are we going to do with the rope sack? We're going to throw it off, right? And when it hits the ground, there's going to be like another 100 foot of rope on the ground, absolutely useless for nothing.
