Book Description
Part 1: If there is a road that runs anywhere near your department, whether it's a rural farm-to-market or a major highway, you run the risk of facing a big rig accident. This show kicks off our three-part Big Rig Rescue Series. In this episode, you'll learn the ins-and-outs of various big rigs with a look at them before they're wrecked and mangled. Part 2: If you're in the fire service anywhere in the country, there's a good chance at some point you'll work a big rig rescue. This is the second show in our three-part series. In this segment, we'll go over the nuts and bolts of extrication. There are some similarities to standard vehicle rescue, but there are some major differences, too. And with this show, you'll be ready to rescue. Part 3: Did you know the trailer on a big rig is almost a separate vehicle of its own? That's important to remember if you're called to a big rig rescue in your town. In our final show in the Big Rig Rescue Series, we'll cover what few other trainers do. We'll walk you through some of the key facts about a trailer, including controlling the brake system and shutting off the trailer's separate engine.

Book Description
* Climbing self-rescue procedures for teams of two - the most common climbing party size * Techniques equally effective on rock, snow, and ice * Utilizes gear climbers already carry in their rack* Includes 40 one-page rescue scenarios and solutions for climbing accident analysisThe rope is stuck, or too short. A crucial piece of gear is MIA. You've wandered off route into dicey terrain. An injury leaves you or your partner in need of help. Climb long enough and finding yourself in a jam far from help is inevitable. In Climbing: Self Rescue, two long-time climbing instructors and guides teach how to improvise your own solutions, calling for outside help only when necessary. Because few climbers carry fancy (and expensive) search and rescue gear, all skills taught in this book use the items typically found on a climbing rack: rope, carabiners, slings, and cord. Text, illustrations, and photos explain knots, belaying and hauling systems, rappelling, ascension, passing knots, how to safely assist and rig an injured climber, and more. Roughly half of the book is devoted to real-life climbing scenarios and solutions ranging from moderate to severe. Because real-life situations rarely unfold as they do in practice, Climbing Self-Rescue teaches how to analyze and improvise your way out of a crisis.
