About this title

Synopsis

A portable field guide to rope rescue systems and procedures. This companion to the CMC Rope Rescue Manual contains a wealth of the manual's excellent how-to drawings. While the Field Guide helps to remind you how things fit together, thorough training is needed to understand why things work and what the limitations are. Thus the field guide is a support to your training and not a substitute for it. The easy to carry, wire-bound booklet is ideal for taking along to your SAR practices and trainings. It measures only four inches across, perfect for carrying in a back pocket.
