Thermarest and Sleeping Bag Packaging Techniques. At the recent<br />
Wilderness First Aid Course, the attendees learned a unique method<br />
of packaging a subject for evacuation. Basically, the subject is<br />
placed on a Thermarest which is then wrapped around him/her with<br />
strapping or ropes, following which the Thermarest is inflated. It<br />
provides comfort and a means of spinal immobilization. The subject<br />
can be handled and transported using just the Thermarest. If the<br />
weather is cool or cold, a sleeping bag can be placed over the<br />
whole package. PCSAR should have this equipment to provide one set<br />
to up to five field teams.<br />
<br />
* Recommendation:That PCSAR acquire 5 rectangular sleeping bags with zipper<br />
access on all three sides.<br />
<br />
* Recommendation:That all members receive initial and ongoing training in the use<br />
of thermarests and sleeping bags in packaging.<br />

Sets quantity at 5.</div>Brett Wuth
