Clever splitting the set of fours like that, and I like how clean you've made your system with the rings. Now if you can keep Sam from causing an avalanche onto your patient ....... All kidding aside, good video and the picture quality was excellent. I can only dream of having your verbal skills. Speaking of image quality, did you change up your camera? Still a GoPro?
Thanks! Still a GoPro but with new Christmas accessories courtesy of my wife. It has an add-on mic that improves sound quality in the wind as well as an external long-life battery stick
Thanks! At that moment in the video, there is no victim in the litter yet, but we do have a "placeholder" for him, which is another AZTEK that is connected to the center of the 3" O-Ring between the head & foot bridle components. On the other end of that AZTEK is a pre-connected seat harness & chest adapter for the victim if needed. The intent of that AZTEK is to give the litter tender the flexibility & freedom to independently "pick" the victim off & secure him prior to loading the victim in the litter & completing the full lashing/securing process. Once the victim is lashed/secured into the litter, that AZTEK is no longer needed, so we disconnected it from the victim's harness, and it simply hung in the 3" O-ring for the remainder of the evolution..... .... If we wanted to have a second litter tender, then the AZTEK can then be re-purposed to be the second rescuer's primary connection, with the other long tail as the second rescuer's backup, but totally optional.... Victim needs no additional connections once secured into the litter.
@@Propeller_Head ok I get it now. That makes sense, and that AZTEK may have multiple uses. Smooth. Although if the Vic is connected twice into the O-ring…

WOW
Bob, another great video. Thanks, i know it was a lot of work. Question: at 7:53, is there a 2nd connection to the victim that I'm missing?
