A compact, waterproof booklet to keep close at hand, the Sierra Rescue River Rescue and Safety Field Guide covers the basics for most on-the-water emergencies.
A 117-page field guide designed to give paddlers the tools to pre-plan, evaluate, move down river and execute rescues in a safe and efficient manner.
Divided into five sections: pre-planning decisions, risk assessment, steps to a rescue, whitewater rescue and technical river skills, rope rescue techniques, and what to carry on the river.
Includes information resources, group member information sheets, river log sheets and first-aid, safety and gear checklists.
Printed on waterproof, tear-proof paper, making it a useful tool that's easy to bring along on the water.
Written by two rescue professionals with a combination of 40 years of first-hand experience.
