This video was created as a tool to assist my students with knot tying instruction for a rope rescue class I teach to my local Fire and EMS organizations. These videos are intended only as a teaching aid to my students. These videos alone are not enough instruction to engage in the activity of climbing or rope rescue. Please do not engage in these activities unless properly trained. The methods taught in these videos are the way my team does things and will vary with other rescue teams.
Disclaimer: Any activity that involves ropes is potentially hazardous. Lives may be at risk - possibly your own. Considerable attention and effort have been made to ensure that these descriptions are accurate. However, many critical factors cannot be controlled, including: the choice of materials; the age, size, and condition of ropes; and the accuracy with which these descriptions have been followed. No responsibility is accepted for incidents arising from the use of this material.
