Mountain Rescue Training
« on: January 22, 2017, 05:11:03 PM »
On Saturday (2017 01 21) we trained an avalanche rescue with Helicopter support in high regions (3.200 meters above sea level). Perfect weather, perfect conditions!  :) The left one on avalanche_3 is me.

Dear Reinhard and WeatherCat "practice makes perfect" types,

On Saturday (2017 01 21) we trained an avalanche rescue with Helicopter support in high regions (3.200 meters above sea level). Perfect weather, perfect conditions!  :)

Thanks for sharing!  You definitely do keep yourself fit and ready for action!

 [wink] . . . . . But wait a minute!  Your training exercise forgot one very important participant - the avalanches!  How do you expect them to cooperate if they don't get a chance to train too! . . . . . .  lol(1)

Cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]

Edouard,
of course we told the avalanche not to practice when we are exercising!  [biggrin]

Blick,
thanks for the link - interesting for us to see how others work!

I've never thought being in under in a huge, shape-changing, moving object was particularly safe... I've seen too much of what happens to mountains when the glacier reaches the end of its journey. It's not a pretty site or sight! [rolleyes2]

OTOH, I do appreciate your training to help others! ThU5:-)

Dear Reinhard, X-Air, and WeatherCat seeking adventures at our own pace types,

Discovering a tunnel deep under a glacier.  :)

I certainly appreciate your enthusiasm for this sort of exploration, but I think X-Air and I will wait for the documentary to show up on the National Geography channel!

Cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]
