Single Firefighter Hasty Harness for Victim Rescue

This video will explain in detail an alternate method for an individual Firefighter to fasten a Full Body Hasty Harness onto a victim. This is just ONE example of the MANY types of harnesses available for rescuers to use. Some of the factors that make this harness efficient include the ability to apply it to either a Civilian or a Firefighter wearing a scba.
Another advantage is the harness can be applied to the victim whether they're lying prone on their stomach or supine on their back. This version works extremely well for vertical rescue - Such as pulling a victim out a hole or lowering them out a window or off a roof. Just like any piece of equipment or procedure, training and experience are key elements to determine what will be best for a specific situation.
Train, Stay Prepared, Be Aggressive, Make the Save - SURVIVE!

[@alfiremalou]

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@oxfd611]

Would please explain again how you pre-set your three sets of webbing? Thanks for a great technique

[@firescout2]

Simple twists will never decrease the strength of webbing or rope.

[@ntstrub]

Great video! I was just curious what you would commonly use the short 5 foot section of webbing on?

[@semiseriouschefs4629]

Hey, I know you have a lot of views and comments, but I just wanted to say thanks for your video. Your detailed information and video-ing was perfect for me to teach my six year old future firefighter. Thanks! The Duleys AKA SemiseriousChefs and #MrNathan #FiremanDuley

[@danofiremano]

Very nice instructions. Would you mind if I used it in a training at my station. Or would you care if we used any of your videos as training aids? Thanks. Good Luck and Godspeed, danofiremano

[@julitoing]

Excelent brother

[@mattrooney7136]

So how many times have you done this for real??

[@CulversWorker]

You talked about the three webbings you carry. Could you explain the reason for the way you store them and the general use. For instance you said you have the 18 ft. (9ft loop) stored in the double daisy chain and that's generally for victim extrication. What about the 5ft daisy chain and the straight roll?

description please !!

Supper

[@scottmullendore3580]

Yes sir, what is the rescue dummy called if we were to purchase one, thank you!!

[@scottmullendore3580]

Thank You Sir, your videos are very applicable to the real time incidents and environment being very realistic on times especially the amount of time you realistically have to bail out, thank you again!!

[@200JLH]

Has anyone else tried this harness on themselves? I have found they cause a lot of pain in the crouch when loaded due to the X. Granted a sore groin is better than coffin. Though the x around the arms I do like. Is I have noticed other harnesses that do not have an x. Anyone else thoughts??

[@preston8836]

Had to do it in fire school, dale has another video where he demonstrates a slightly slower but more comfortable way to make a harness using webbing

[@joearnold6787]

What type of carabiners do you use? I'm a new firefighter and want to add this system to my gear

[@DALEGPEKEL]

Black Diamond Rocklock Screwgate is my favorite www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en_US/climbing-carabiners-quickdraws/rocklock-screwgate-BD2102750000ALL1.html

[@razvanmut5251]

how long is the strap? webbing? Thanks

[@svanhegan]

Where can I buy these straps..?

[@DALEGPEKEL]

Do a Google search for 1 inch tubular webbing - I prefer Fluorescent Green - Which is actually a very bright yellow. To make a 9 foot loop you need a piece 20 feet long. To make a 5-1/2 foot loop you need a piece 12-1/2 feet long. Use a Water Knot to tie the ends together to make the loop. Here's an old video showing how: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWerhoqqZ5p_h7c

[@svanhegan]

Thanks Dale, Much appreciated.

[@michaelralston6737]

So what do you use the 5ft strap for?

[@DALEGPEKEL]

It has both utility and rescue options - For rescue I use it for girth hitching or fastening a shoulder/chest hitch - Sometime referred to as "Fast Strapping" - Which allows you to quickly drag out a victim horizontally and/or up stairs when just doing a grab and go is too difficult.

[@CulversWorker]

Dale, where do you recommend purchasing the 5 foot strap with the pre-stitched loops on each end?

[@bogart-th9op]

very long technique bro
