Hello,

I am looking for a collapsible foldable stretcher, to be used in case of an emergency for rescue in mountainous terrain. Anybody knows where you can get that here in the Dominican Republic? I have found several over the internet but first I want to see if this is available locally.

thank you

Alex

Are you using frame packs in your group? There is a technique of lashing three frame packs together to make a very workable little for getting someone out. Two support the person being carried out and the third ties the other two together.

They are actually pretty sturdy and comfortable. We had to learn how to make them in an outdoor course I took. You can also fashion neck braces and soft casts from sleeping pads.
