Welcome to Search & Rescue Knots

Selection

This selection of knots was suggested by Greg Felton who requested a section devoted to Search & Rescue. We initially supposed that this selection would just be a subset of the climbing page. However, Greg introduced me to the Tensionless Hitch as well as the Emergency Webbing Harness and we decided that a section devoted to Search & Rescue would be appropriate.

The final selection of knots is based on consultation with, and advice from, people working in Search & Rescue.
