Me performing a pick-off rescue drill

Since cutting ropes can be expensive, not to mention dangerous, for most pick-off training we set up a system to take the load off of the "victim's" ropes in a controlled manner and untie him after attaching him to our ropes.

 

Knives and ropes don't mix well.

 

I'm tying a french prussik knot to set up a pulley above him.
