Etrier, Hasty Harness, Repelling, Drags, Improvised Litter - Webbing (PART 2)

[@Hogue_Indiana]

Awesome stuff! I've seen this litter done without clipping the middle. 6 people can carry the patient, or 6 hands from 4 people. Patients get heavy!

Immediate subscribe. Awesome content and demonstration. Keep up the awesome work

Thank you! Always great to hear the the content is beneficial. Pass it on to others you know that would benefit as well.

KZbin did not notify me of this, weirdly. Anyway, as a mountaineer I always have some webbing, biners, and cordage with me in my cars or in my pack when out in the woods. Awesome content as always.

[@SixEcho]

Interesting. We have noticed a huge drop in our analytics as well as some restrictions placed on some of our videos because they are medical treatment for active shooter scenarios. We are going to keep pushing the content out but be aware that they may not be promoting it as much. Thanks for the feedback!

Great 2 part series, but you left out a big detail... what size tubular webbing to buy? Havent even gone looking for any of this yet, but I know theres many different types of webbing, maybe theirs only 1 type of tubular webbing??? idk is it polyester? Or whats a good emergency type of webbing to buy if im not planning on climbing mountains every day? Thanks.

[@SixEcho]

1” nylon webbing with a breaking strength of 4000 lbs is a good general use webbing.

[@rodrigoruiz976]

When should you use webbing vs rope?

[@SixEcho]

Use webbing for anchors, improvised harnesses or to lash a patient in a rescue device. Use rope when the rope needs to be moving such as in repelling or hoisting or when something needs to move across the rope like a highline/zipline setup. The circular shape of rope works better when the rope has to move or something moves over the rope. The flat webbing works best to distribute the load so it doesn't dig into a victim or patient when making a harness.

@@SixEcho thank you! Very nice explanation.

[@ShooterMedic1818]

@@SixEcho Very well said!

Great video man. The ladder is very intriguing. Could you climb effectively as far as you want with two premade ladders ? Disconnecting one after moving on to the other and repeating?

[@SixEcho]

Thank you. Yes, you technically could although arborist have much more efficient methods of getting up trees. This is better as a single section ladder. Another issue would be getting back down. You would have to have an alternate plan for that.

Hey. If your are wanting to get some webbing I’d recommend getting more then 20ft. That’s how much I bought that’s a good amount to play around with. I’m gonna buy some more so I have good unused webbing.

[@joeschiffman6402]

Also, great video I’ve been learning all this. Mom was confused when she saw me repelling from my pull-up bar😂

[@SixEcho]

Haha. Yeah, 20ft is good for 1 basic sling or loop. Doesn’t get you much further though. But if you need more we have the coyote back in stock now.

Nice content! New Sub.

[@peterlivingston8155]

I saw in the comments that webbing is available on your site, any suggestions about where to get actual hands-on training. I am not a professional, however I am interested in training to include medical, appreciate any thoughts.

[@wannabecarguy]

If your community has cert or something like that, someone inside those groups is a qualified trainer. Indoor climbing gyms are also is a good place to check. I watched this video as a refresher.

[@kinch613]

EXCELLENT

[@nappertandy9089]

Great vid. Your camera man should have got a close up of your absail webbing passing through your carabiner. You got close with some shots but not others. Maybe don't mention the things you haven't done because I'm then wondering how I do that while you're still explaining ie. "I don't have a safety knot here because my webbing is too short!". That seemed super important to me🤔😂

[@SixEcho]

Good points. Thanks for the feedback. As far as the safety knot goes, that was covered in part 1 when we went over knots. So it hopefully will make more sense if you go check out the part 1 video. Thanks!
