Webbing Loop to Carry Air Cylinders

An 8-9 foot webbing loop has a lot of versatility in both utility and life rescue applications. One of many uses for a Webbing Loop is to carry equipment. By tying an open end "Girth Hitch" you can quickly attach to the valve assembly of an scba air cylinder - Which will free up your hands and allow you to carry multiple cylinders or additional equipment. This is just one technique that can be used when staffing or personnel are limited and you need to maximize efficiency.

Comment by Rick Westerman on December 24, 2009 at 9:28pm: Excellent teaching, hope some of the younger folks will take advantage of your expertise and use these "smarter not harder" techniques to every one's advantage. The fire ground is not a training ground, know before you go!

Be safe Brother,
