In 2008 Dr. Sam found himself carrying an intrepid Danish woman with a broken ankle on a rocky trail in Greenland. The fireman carry was out of the question, as were stretchers and wheelchairs. It led to a year of sewing and prototyping and a couple simple products.
The Slishman Rescue Harness weighs 485 grams and is essentially the Rescue Pack… minus the pack. It is a strap system which enables one person to carry another.
