Technical Rescue Riggers Guide

Revised Edition by Rick Lipke

Pocket sized quick reference guide to every aspect of rigging from anchors to z-rigs.  Basic concepts clearly presented with numerous technical drawings and diagrams.  The techniques shown within this guide represent a 'paradigm shift' in modern rope rescue.  Over the last 10 years, a new generation of rescue techniques have evolved, borrowing heavily from work done by Rigging for Rescue in Canada - focusing on light equipment, quick response, and a high degree of safety and flexibility.  These techniques have been found to work equally well in the backcountry as well as the industrial setting.  If your rescue team is not currently using some or all of the techniques shown in this guide, We highly recommend that your update your training. 121 pages, spiral bound.  Made in USA
