==2004-10-26 [[MedicalPreplanCommittee]] recommends:==
Thermarest and Sleeping Bag Packaging Techniques. At the recent
Wilderness First Aid Course, the attendees learned a unique method
of packaging a subject for evacuation. Basically, the subject is
placed on a Thermarest which is then wrapped around him/her with
strapping or ropes, following which the Thermarest is inflated. It
provides comfort and a means of spinal immobilization. The subject
can be handled and transported using just the Thermarest. If the
weather is cool or cold, a sleeping bag can be placed over the
whole package. PCSAR should have this equipment to provide one set
to up to five field teams.

* Recommendation:That PCSAR acquire 5 Thermarest (or equivalent) mattresses of
appropriate design and size.

2004-10-26 [[PreplanCommittee]] endorses recommendation
to the Board (sets quantity to 5).

==To Do:==
* Equip stokes stretcher
