The intent of my channel is to post videos that will help enhance the Operational Capability and Safety of Firefighters.

I'm a big believer that there are many different ways to do many different things and very rarely one best way - The videos I produce are based on this belief. You may or may not agree with the techniques we discuss and demonstrate, but understand the methods I post have been extensively tested during training and in more than one case the emergency environment.

Take what you can from what you see - If it doesn't work for you; realize it might work for someone else. Tactics are based on many variables, including: Your Department's policies/procedures, the equipment you carry, the situation you're confronted with and finally your level of training and experience....... Having options increases your versatility and ability to make the save - While at the same time making sure you or your fellow FFs get out safely as well.

Dale, I all for the personal safety rope and your set-up, however I would like for you to answer a question for me if you would not mind when you can. I would like to own a similar set-up as shown in the video, but as with everything else I carry in my gear I want to have confidence in the equipment im using and that only comes with practicing with it. I have heard that once you have used a personal escape line it should no longer be used as such, but I heard you mention in the video you have had 100 loads on it. Would you say it would be ok to have a few practice runs with the system and still trust the line from breaking? Thanks.

Captain, love watching your videos! Very informative! Could I make a re-upload request? I purchased some tubular webbing to go in with my gear, and I would like to practice with the hasty seat harness. When you find time, could you re-post that video? Thanks!
