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.

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:-)

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]
