[QUOTE="Pelorus, post: 4627622, member: 66959"] Bigshot sounds like a good fit for swift water rescue. (and many shore based water rescue scenarios). Local FD has a pool noodle type contraption that works (doesn't work very well at all) like a wind up sewer snake. Also have a largish floating throwball attached to bulky (polypropylene?) line that also works poorly and totally inaccurate for throws over about 50 feet. Basically what it boils down to is that if someone runs into trouble up here either up a tree, or on the water, you are completely 100% screwed as far as counting on the local FD to rescue you, vs. retrieve you eventually.
