Included: Jackson Backcountry Rescue Sled. Durable and slick base material. Wings that weigh nothing but reflect heat and secure the patient. Handles all around for positioning, securing, or lifting. I designed this sled to be fully functional, durable and still light enough you can forget it inside you pack. Included: Flat Nylon Ribbon. This can be threaded through the 8 rigging loops in a criss cross pattern (like most shoe laces) and it helps secure the rider in the sled. When properly tied, this allows the sled to keep its shape during the rescue as well as to increase efficiency and control. Included: Amsteel Cordage. For those who aren't skiing with a rope, this cordage allows for multiple people to help pull the sled. It can also be rigged to keep the sled steady when hauling across a slope. Included: JB Sticker. For repairing small holes, and for spreading the word. Please send photos or tag Jackson Backcountry if you leave one in a cool place! All of these items are vacuum sealed in a flat package for easy storage, and weighing an average of 365 grams. This sled is not designed to be disposable. You can pick them up, haul them, lower them, and use them to protect yourself from the environment. This is one stop shopping for an industry leading, ultralight, backcountry rescue sled. Day tours, hut trips, avalanche rescue courses, and search and rescue are just a few of the scenarios in which a proper backcountry rescue sled could become an invaluable resource. *As a general rule, skis inside the sled will increase the chances the metal edges will cut right through. An inflatable pad has proven to add rigidity, comfort and insulation at no risk to the sled.
