Tuesday Night Training: Equipment Location and Rope Systems. We started the beautiful Michigan evening off with an equipment hunt. Personnel were given scenarios, then based on apparatus that would respond, were asked to recall where specific equipment was located. If members weren't able to recall, then they were tasked with physically locating the equipment on the apparatus. This training reinforces memory recall so that we don't have to search for equipment on scene. The second half of training consisted of reviewing a 3:1 mechanical advantage rope system. We discussed components and their uses and utilized the rope system to pull a pickup truck. We ended the evening with a bonus activity of ascending a rope using only a hasty harness and two prusik loops.
