Bag Load-Out Methodology- I
So here is Bag#1 As the PDF states, these bags are basically portable lockers for responses (“Build-A-Kit”), training gigs, FMP’s, or recreational vertical movement across the spectrum (urban, canyoneering, mountaineering, etc). When we get to location, we assess the operational needs, requirements, constraints , & environmental pathology - then pick and grab from the bags. Each bag in these videos contains its own framework / character for inclusion / exclusion of contents (and we tend to alter / evolve contents pretty regularly).
We then load / pack-out our operational pack (we usually have a few different options of empty operational packs to chose from when we get at location - depending on context & projected needs - IE, weather, manpower, organic assets, severity of rough terrain evac, ambient light, potential duration of operation (Access, Assess & Stabilize, Extract, Evac). The operational bags are loaded in 1st, 2nd, & 3rd order of accessibility / availability.
