Rescue in outdoor sports

 During outdoor tours such as caving, canyoning and Via Ferrata, it is not inconceivable that someone falls into the depths or has to be lifted in the event of an injury. Means for this include hoists and suitable pulleys.

 Know what you can / should do in the event of an accident: study the book, for example SPAR – Expedition and Small Party Rescue Manual or choose from the "Techniques & Skills" section.

In canyoning it may be necessary to throw a thin rope / line at a person. Throwing lines, whether or not in a bag, are very useful for this.

What you should have with you as standard for an outdoor activity is a rescue blanket. See for this Rescue blankets.
