We get a lot of questions when coils of tubular Nylon make an appearance on LV/119 kit in our media. In this video Fred, our Director of Research and Development, goes over a few of the reasons why this versatile item can be extremely useful in combat operations.
Tubular nylon can be coiled and lashed to the side of our LV/119 Assault Back Panel, or on one of the columns of our MOLLE back panel with a Spiritus Bungee Flag Holder.

I’m a rock climber with some mountain SAR experience. I was taught a similar protocol but using slings instead of webbing. Slings are essentially just webbing that have been pre-sewn into loops. It makes it easier to equalize the load and allows you to secure the casualty without having to tie any knots.

@gregtennyson 2 жыл бұрын

@@x.grover.x9786 If you're looking for a good reference on procedures I'd recommend researching crevasse rescue. As a civilian its much different than combat search & rescue because we're not trying to evacuate a casualty under fire. The technique varies based on the situation, evacuating someone who's conscious and participating in their own rescue is much different than trying to get someone onto a board. Learning crevasse rescue techniques will also teach you how to move yourself, should you ever have to.

Funny you said that because this whole video made me think this tubular nylon bs is dumb af. If you need to get someone out then do like Forrest and pick them up and take them out. Obviously take out any threats first or you might catch a round in your buttcheek. lol Point is if your a man you should be able to pick someone up and carry them to safety. If they're 300 lbs then don't bother picking them up or dragging them out. Priority should be taking out the threat or threats that shot him in the first place.

@@AR-vd3pb In modern combat a fully loaded Soldier or Marine may actually weigh near 300 lbs with all his gear. You can strip some of it off but you'll want to keep the body armor on when bullets and shit are flying everywhere. Some items like weapons, explosives, and NVGs are not something your command wants you to leave behind. (Only the POTUS gets to do that.) Even if you prioritize killing the enemy over evacuating your buddy, your buddy still needs an evacuation when the enemy's dead. And you have LESS of an excuse to leave his shit behind. It's bad enough if he's on the ground. What happens if he's up a 3 story building and the stairs are mostly choked with rubble? Tubular webbing is a solution.

@AR-vd3pb 2 жыл бұрын

@@EricDaMAJ Yeah I see how it could be helpful in a military combat situation but I'm talking about carrying it and using it as a civilian. For military use I would prefer a system easier to use than just tubular nylon. If you need to drag someone to safety then drag them by their plate carrier. If you need to pick them up then pick them up. If you need to carry them then use something designed for that like an injured personnel carrier (IPC). Which is basically the same thing as this tubular nylon product but easier to use.

Pro Tip: Have your Riggers sew 12” half twist loop in one end. It’ll make a smooth girth hitch in a captive eye biner, it’s handy if you have to repel or hoist, you never have to cut it or mess around with a knot when you’re trying to go fast, etc.

If you don’t have Riggers, and you do have time, tie all the knots you want… But if time is at a premium, you’re not worried about a smooth tight roll, and you don’t have to worry about cold stiff fingers, tie all the knots you want. But make sure it has a long tail or a half hitch because when it gets wet, that knot will walk under stress.

I had one of those hoses with this stuff around it (like $30 at Walmart years ago), and the interior hose busted, so I cut the ends, and pulled this stuff off the outside of it and washed it all out, and now I have 100ft of this tubular nylon, and it is tough stuff. I've been using it for all kinds of purposes. It's extremely abrasion resistant and just very useful all around. After 3 years of using that hose, dragging it across the yard, etc. the stuff still looks brand new with no noticeable abrasions or cuts or wear anywhere on it. It's pretty amazing.

@annalorree 9 ай бұрын

In the fire service, we used tubular webbing to drag victims, create a hasty seat to rappel out a window if needed, to hoist tools, to attach to ankles when going into confined spaces like culverts, and to secure to charged hose lines to help move, anchor, or manipulate them. Tubular webbing is a must have!

1st drag we call a 7 (firefighter). 2nd we call a hasty harness. I keep a 20 foot tubular webbing with a water knot in my gear. But by far without question my favorite webbing is the Anderson Rescue MLRS. Nothing better for drags or improvised harnesses and for self rescue. Also for a litter drag in the field, I highly recommend a mega mover folded in your gear. I’ve moved hundreds of people of all sizes with one. CMC Certified Technical Rescue Technician II.

It would probably be a good idea to practice these several times so you know exactly what you want to do before you get in a place where you need it. I remember I used to practice rappelling/climbing knots with my son when he was around 10 or 12 yrs old so i could hold him up and see how well the knots would hold. He loved being suspended 2 or 3 foot off the ground from a tree limb in a climbing harness. lol.

In LMAO in the climbing community it's termed tube webbing, 1"".

I would suggest any one doing tactical movements think 3D as in up and down and get a mountain or rock climbing hand book. Webbing rope 'biners figure 8's and knots could give you a winning edge, or save your life. Just FYI.
