How To Make A Drag Strap

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this short video, Mitchell walks us thru how to instal a simple drag strap. We have had a lot of questions about how to actually make and install the strap itself, mostly generated from the last video, which mentioned it, and also our Instagram content.
This strap system is commonly known as a “DARC strap”, and this is our version of it. There have been many versions over the last 20 years. There are also other videos about how to install it from other companies. This is not how to use it, or the pros and cons of it, or anything but how to install the strap itself. If you want to see it in use, check out the video on Jared’s FERRO FCPCV5.
We hope you enjoy this video, and that you find it to be good supplementary instruction on how to install the strap itself. If you have questions, please drop them in the comments below. Thanks and merry Christmas!

    When your life depends on it, use a water knot to tie two ends of webbing together not a square.

    Will this method work for carrying fat women out of my bed?

    #1 the fact that you're even considering 'carrying' a fat woman shows your lack of experience. #2 the fact that this was about a 'drag' not cradle or litter shows you don't listen well #3 combine the 2 and it's pretty appparent that you will not need an answer anytime soon but i'll throw you a bone anyway. #4 always drag or roll fat girls out of your bed. be safe and don't ever try and carry one! NOTE- If circumstance dictates a carry only extraction always go with a ranger roll technique but be CAREFUL! one slip and you can get yourself into quite a precarious position. i'd suggest donning an avilung device or snorkle to avoid auto-BBW-asphyxiation. be safe out there.

    Depending on what you consider "fat", I would recommend increasing the strap width from 1" to 5".

    I used a Kong mini D carabiner as I didnt want a large mass of metal over top of my spine. The chances of falling back on the D ring seem much more likely to happen versus needing drug by it. Its not rated for climbing but is rated for 600kg or 1300lbs It hasnt ever come close to coming off my inner belt

    My question on this is for something like maritime operations, where the ability to doff the kit in an emergency is important. Trying to brainstorm ways to do this where you would be able to doff it as well. Possibly instead of a caribiner, you used a quick release shackle. Or, is this something you keep stowed, and your buddy hooks to your belt before dragging you? I love stuff like this, but I've always gotta figure out how to make something like this work for the environment I operate in.

    This is not for long term carries. This is for short drags out of a problem area, where you can triage/intervene/utilize a carry system. So you’re not picking a better capability with whatever agilite makes, you’re picking something with a different purpose.

Theirs leverages physics and human physiology in a better method, that still leaves both hands free to manipulate items. Further the Israelis have and are using them in combat right now. I will take fully developed and combat tested system over an ad hoc system.

    @@testpython3575 Yea take a look at how the Israelis use it there is footage out there; use handle that is already on any plate carrier to immediate cover then the optimal is other team mate places casualty, set straps and go. Still more effective as this give you several feet of pull before movement at the end of a semi secured strap and biner, what are leverage and torque again?? The only reason to have this length is to be able to stand and move while pulling which implies a further distance than to immediate cover which a pull to immediate cover is perfectly handled by the drag handle that doesn't yield and is already on the carrier.
