COMPANION RESCUE

Excavating the Buried Subject

The first rescuer positions him/herself directly at the probe.
The first two rescuers position themselves in a distance of one
shovel lengths, all other rescuers are two shovel lenghts apart
of each other.
The rescuer at the tip of the conveyor belt digs directly follow-
ing the probe to the buried subject, thus avoiding any chance
to miss it.

BarryTip:

in hard snow, cut blocks with the shovel.

In case of multiple burials, switch off the trans-
ceiver of the buried subjects as soon as possible.

Rotate!
