Im curious of everybody's methods regarding the stabilization of "downward" movement of a victim during a vertical lower.
Here is a picture of a method I came up with playing around one day.
You start with a girth hitch on the foot of the stokes next you wrap the webbing around the patients feet twice going from the outside in "clockwise" now secure the feet together with a square knot. Finally you terminate the webbing with cloves on either side of the stokes (safety knots also of course). From there you begin your patient lashing.
I know there has to be some great methods floating around out there.
Stay Safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
