Extraction Gear
On the 15th of January I'm planning to do a member driven discussion on what I call "extraction gear". This is the stuff you bring with you to take care of the "whoops" part of our sport. I have been thinking of the stuff that I carry for that "just in case "situation and I thought that it would be good to share what everyone carries, as well as some war stories about how we have used some of this equipment in "out of the box" situations. It is not my intent to talk about how to use this stuff as much as what to carry to get out of sticky situations. I will do my best to suggest extraction techniques if questions should arise but this will be more of an exchange of ideas of what to bring. Here is a list of things that I am planning to mention. With all the equipment, I will discuss the working load limits and the safety of combining different pieces of equipment. I would appreciate it if the membership would suggest any additional equipment and I will certainly add it in the discussion. Thank you and I hope you will be there for it.
