    | Flashlight Headlight
        
  | 
    Its night, the subject has been found.  The
      dramatic carryout through brambles and rough terrain starts and your in
      the middle of the excitement.  There is simply no practical way to
      carry the stokes and hold a flashlight.  The only practical solution
      to night time light is a headlamp.   Petzel makes the best, in a wide
      variety of choices.  The 
Petzl headlamp 
      even fits nicely on a Petzel helmet.  Imagine that.

    | Climbing Harness
        
  | 
    OK, we all learn how to tie a rescue harness  out of webbing
      and have hung uncomfortably to prove to our trainers we know how to use
      it.  NOW it is time to get serious, professional, and
      COMFORTABLE.  A real climbing harness  is the only way to go. 
      Only drawback, sure makes it hard to go back to a tied webbing harness.Several different harnesses to choose.  For only
      $28 a lightweight harness  perfect for semi-technical work, glacier travel,
      or alpine travel.  For more serious climbing several padded harnesses 
      are available.

    | Carabiners
        
  | 
    Both semi-technical and technical rescue demand carabiners.  
      Locking D's are the standard for rescue applications.
      Super functional belay carabiners,  both versions of the Airlock2 work well with any belay hitch, Super 8 or
      ATC. With a large internal volume, you'll have plenty of room for bulky
      knots or stacks of runners at a belay. The Screwgate version weighs 75 g
      (2.6 oz). Several different carabiners  to choose from.

    | Climbing Protection
         
     | 
    Climbing Protection  is one of many methods to secure anchors. 
      In rescue, the more anchors the better.  Of course, if you don't know
      what I'm talking about you better not be involved in rescue.  Just
      having stuff on your sling to look cool is not recommended.
      The following Climbing Protection  link will provide a source of camalots,
      stoppers, hexes, and pitons.

    First of all, the Super-Slacker Rope Bag eliminates
      the coiling process forever. And if that weren't enough, it also protects
      your rope from dirt and debris and serves as a rope bucket on long climbs.
      Sports a zipper closure and padded shoulder straps for easy and
      comfortable transport to the next rescue. The ATC, the climbing
      world's  best belay device around: one that feeds rope smoothly and
      easily, one that doesn't kink the rope while rappelling, one that holds
      falls effectively and is both durable and lightweight. Chalk bags,
      well they hold chalk.
       Use the nut tool to loosen stubborn nut placements,
      reach buried cam triggers or snag an out-of-reach piece of webbing, not
      designed for the people we rescue.  The Padded Gear Sling
      adjusts to fit any stature, big and tall or bold and small. The Hammers

      leather palm is reinforced in the excessive wear areas and is double
      stitched for added durability. You can wear the glove the entire day
      without ever having to take it off.

    One hand carrying the stokes.  The second out for
      balance.  Opps, didn't see that branch coming?  Now you have a
      scratched cornea and can't really help anyone.  Safety glasses
      are highly recommended during technical evacuations |
