PATH TO FOLLOW

• Choose a safe location and spread the tarpaulin.
• Adding an insulating mattress and an empty backpack will ensure more comfort for the victim;
• Skis can be put inside for added rigidity but are not necessary and may damage the ultralight tarpaulin.

Tip: protect the squares well with the climbing skins.

• Place the victim in the middle of the tarpaulin and close it using the Velcro while leaving space for the head;
• Tie up like a shoe, starting from the bottom, the red rope in the small red ribbon eyelets. See illustration;
• Tip: It is also possible to use ski straps from 64 cm to 90 cm to secure the victim and close the cover;
• Cut the 4mm rope into several sections according to the needs of the evacuation; Install the traction system by passing a section of the 4mm rope through the two front yellow strap loops;
• Install the rear stabilization system by passing a second section of the 4mm rope through the two rear yellow strap loops; If you must cross, install the lateral balance system as shown opposite.
• The tarpaulin also serves as an emergency bivouac or survival blanket thanks to its Velcro closure.

WARNING

DURING AN EVACUATION IN EXTREME TERRAIN: INSURE the victim with appropriate equipment to restrain them in the event of a breakdown of the traction system. DO NOT use the red grommets or blue handles for traction.
