Conterra Technical Rescue Riggers Guide - Version IV

This is the completely updated version of the original Technical Rescue Rigging Guide by Rick Lipke with technical contributions by Kirk Mauthner. A pocket rescue reference guide that is absolutely the most comprehensive and complete available today. It shows extremely safe, modern techniques, in 224 pages, with over 600 clear illustrations and photos, from basic knots and anchors, to highlines, helo rescues, and much more! Incorporates the DCTTRS (Dual Capability Two Tension Rope System) pioneered by EMBC in Canada. The DCTTRS system is rapidly becoming the standard in progressive rope work. Printed in full color on high tech storm proof paper and completely cross referenced with handy safety reminders throughout. The Technical Rescue Rigging Guide is small enough and rugged enough to take into the field rescue after rescue.

This is not an instructional text, but rather a quick pocket reference guide for personnel already trained and familiar with modern rope rescue. However, it can be used as an educational enhancement in classes taught by a competent instructor.
