What Happens When You Train Rope Rescue With No Anchors?
from Spiked Out · host The Journeyman

No trees, limited anchors, and unforgiving terrain force you to build clean, redundant systems and understand why they work. That's exactly why we keep coming back to Hanksville for our annual REMS training with Prevail Rescue Solutions.In this episode, we break down what a full week of desert rope rescue training looks like on the ground — from day-one cobwebs to day-four momentum — and why the night slot canyon run has become our favorite confidence test for the whole crew.🪢 IN THIS EPISODE:Why limited anchors make better riggersNight slot canyon travel as a team-building toolHow reps on shoddy anchors actually build real confidencePatient packaging details that matter when it's dark and everyone's tiredWhat we like (and question) about the KOBUS RollUP LitterMarlow Tactical rope impressions and strength talkHow multi-day scenarios sharpen communication and leadershipWhat we're tracking from NWSA and WEMS conferencesVIPER ordering changes and REMS typing questions heading into fire seasonWhy The Journeyman is more than a recruiting tool — and how teams use it for resource tracking, shift tickets, and season history🔥 CONNECT WITH PREVAIL RESCUE SOLUTIONS:You can reach Brian and the Prevail Rescue team directly through the app.📲 SUBSCRIBE for weekly wildland fire content.
