High Angle Rescue Training
Ok I realize that it has been October of last year since my last post. So time for an update. I finished in Cheyenne around the end of September. From there I went to work back in Brookings South Dakota. That ended the 11th of December where I went through period of Lay-off. I am back to work and in a small town called Burlington in Colorado. It's pretty enough. I am just glad to be back to work. In an unrelated, yet related way, the pictures are of what is called High Angle Rescue Training. I was selected among others in Cheyenne to be trained to help in case of an accident up tower. It involved knowing how to rig a totally unconscious person, to one that is just hurt but still can't get down unassisted. The pictures are of us learning how to repel. We were hoping to do this out of the back of the nacelle but the safety Nazi's decided it was too big of a liability. So we did it off a radio tower. Not nearly as high and not even close to as fun, but hey I take what I can get. This got me out of pouring concrete for a day. Anyway enjoy.
