Equip yourself for real-world scenarios in rescue, rigging, and rappelling, with the confidence to adapt and excel in challenging environments.
We are committed to providing realistic rope techniques that are not only consistent with real-world operations, but also effective and usable in natural environments and on structures that do not provide the “perfect rappel tower” setting.
Our teaching methods provide an overall understanding of anchor and rigging principles, rather than just rappelling down a tower repeatedly. This approach to high-angle instruction ensures that each student has numerous viable options from which to choose and utilize the most appropriate technique in a variety of scenarios.
The ADAPTABLE TOTEM RESPONSE RACK (A-TRR) – inspired by North American Rescue’s A-VRR (Adaptable Vertical Response Rack) – and the training in its use provided by Sean McKay of Element Rescue and Bryan Howell of Prevail Rescue.
The A-VRR is available as a kit from www.narescue.com
Our A-TRR is similar, but includes items that are compatible with the systems and techniques we have been teaching in our rescue, rigging and rappelling courses over the years.
