Seems like a good idea for newbies like me is to go out and practice some time. Preferably with a buddy. Otherwise, maybe try to find a spot that's "stuck one way" but that I can get out the opposite way.

I'm sure it's like climbing, or caving (Lloyd), or anything else for that matter. Better to practice rescue techniques in a controlled environment before you actually need them in the field... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />


Exactly. Playing with different scenarios might not be a bad idea, either. As soon as my equipment is rigged the way I want it, I'm taking it to a steep hill (pics of it in my "pipelines" post) to see if I can winch it up. You never know when you'll find yourself cruising hilly terrain that is normally not a problem - and then it starts pouring rain halfway into the trip. I think it seems like fun. I'm actually looking forward to it.
