Welcome to Search and Rescue Knots
This selection of knots was suggested by Greg Felton who requested a section devoted to Search and Rescue (SAR). Select the knots from: the index above left; the pictures above; or the Rescue Applications page.
The selection of knots is based on consultation with, and advice from, people working in Search and Rescue. Click on the picture on the right to see the selection.
Emphasis
As with Climbing knots, the emphasis for SAR is on reliability and safety. It is also desirable that each knot can be untied reasonably easily.
Selection
We initially supposed that this selection would just be a subset of the climbing page. However, Greg introduced me to the Tensionless Hitch as well as the Emergency Webbing Harness and we decided that a section devoted to SAR would be appropriate.
