    Tie-off ideal for a wrecker?

    I swear I am going to do it....I have HH2 and Akimbo...have been using both DDRT/MRS. Just have to put time aside to make it happen.

    Tie-off ideal for a wrecker?

    Thanks for input Kenny...roundturn is good and no-creep limiters, too. Had not thought of wind funneling but good advice. I would definitely vacate the car/lift area before letting them lift. Too many variables to ride with car. Marc-Antoine...my hope is to be able to do it without deploying...

    Gigi...you ARE an Island Girl. Tides in our Chattahoochee?? hahaha...no worries there...constant flow, whatever it happens to be due to rainfall upstream. Re: fire ladder truck...good question there...I did wonder about that, too. I have seen them use them horizontal to recover a body that...

    Yep...makes sense. Someone that's paying attention is what matters. They run outriggers...it'd be a bit of an operation to move the truck.

    Tie-off ideal for a wrecker?

    Good idea on the tagout, Jonny...thanks. DMc...I thought about wet rope....would likely bag it...or have a teammate tend it from the bridge could work better than bagging (when I bag rope in a tree I don't really like it). SRS maybe...I thought about it, too. But, I am still working into...

    Tie-off ideal for a wrecker?

    I am on our local Dive Team....search, rescue, recovery for water situations (bodies, evidence, etc.). We also do land work but this question is water related. We recently did our second vehicle recovery at this bridge site on the Chattahoochee River. There is a boat ramp upstream and local...
