ok so I just successfully attempted this same method using tubular webbing. my partner at the station and I figured we carry plenty of webbing in our rope rescue bags and the only 8mil rope we carry that's that long is our load releasing hitch which we would use before this and when you untie the webbing from the daisy chain you are already at the middle of your webbing so it saves a little time having to find the middle first. great idea CNC rescue. it's another great tip for the mental tool box.
I'm wondering why you'd use this technique versus a Prusik, valdotain tresse, or another friction hitch (most of which seem much less time-consuming)? I'm also confused about the name, as this looks like a French braid.
If you use a prusik, how will you slowly ease that knot onto the new system after you pass the knot? 3:41 A pursik could work but depending on how heavy the load it, you would want a belay system to ease back into it. Could use a munter hitch, could use a petzl ID, several different options.
Don't know whether I'd call it french braid, it's basically a VT without the wraps, just the braiding. I guess the benefit here is that it will release *very* smoothly under *very* high loads.

Have to agree, this is awesome. Have not seen this method used before, can't wait to test it out.
Coolest thing i've seen all day!!
im gonna use this technique during our training evolution. great idea!

Cool piece of gear!
Any idea what pants LeRoy Harbach is wearing? Glad I watched this - great tip.
a new ideal,very nice!
I wonder what that is rated for....safe for a two person load?
I could have use haul kit for that.
What are the limitations of this technique? Is it safe for rescuer and victim in stokes basket or just for a single rescuer?
Just wondering about how that mallion is loaded?
Good
i don't understand why this method called dog & tail,what is the difference between dogtail and that?
great info çan"t wait to get m'y boss embarassed😂
correction CMC rescue... darn auto correct
