What's New:
Element Rescue Podcasts
After getting beat down by some very loyal followers and team members we started posting some of our older podcasts on iTunes, and you can subscribe to our RSS feed (whatever that means). Apparently it makes listening to our sick speaking & interviewing skills on long boring car drives easier.
We are posting new podcasts kind of frequently, just not regularly (frankly, we thought the anticipation of when to expect the next episode would keep things new and exciting, your welcome), and there is a good chance they may change your life.
Also, they will make you more attractive to people that you wish were more interested in you....FACT. So, if those people that really haven't noticed you in the past, suddenly start stalking you - Element Rescue accepts no responsibility, or we can take full credit, that will depend on the mental status of said stalker.
Oh...by the way, call or email us and let us know what you'd like to hear in our next podcast. If your idea is as amazing as you think it is, we’d love to include you in the discussion...If however, you call us and leave a drunken message about anything other than the coolest new way to do something rescue related, we do reserve the right to (and most likely will) post the aforementioned message on all social media outlets, making it the punch line of many jokes for years to come. All in very lighthearted manner, of course...we promise.

So here is Bag#1 As the PDF states, these bags are basically portable lockers for responses (“Build-A-Kit”), training gigs, FMP’s, or recreational vertical movement across the spectrum (urban, canyoneering, mountaineering, etc). When we get to location, we assess the operational needs, requirements, constraints , & environmental pathology - then pick and grab from the bags. Each bag in these videos contains its own framework / character for inclusion / exclusion of contents (and we tend to alter / evolve contents pretty regularly).
We then load / pack-out our operational pack (we usually have a few different options of empty operational packs to chose from when we get at location - depending on context & projected needs - IE, weather, manpower, organic assets, severity of rough terrain evac, ambient light, potential duration of operation (Access, Assess & Stabilize, Extract, Evac). The operational bags are loaded in 1st, 2nd, & 3rd order of accessibility / availability.
