The All-In-One Solution for Raising and Water Recovery The Evac Systems Raising & Water Recovery Kit (Model EP302RWK) is a comprehensive, pre-packaged solution designed to equip rescue teams for vertical raising operations, water rescues, and boat recovery missions. Instead of sourcing individual components, this kit delivers a field-ready system packed into the handmade Evac SAR Backpack. It includes the essential rope, hardware, webbing, and edge protection required to build anchors, set mechanical advantage systems, and execute a raise immediately upon arrival.

Key Features

Field-Ready Backpack: The system is housed in the Evac SAR Backpack (EP302), featuring an internal frame, adjustable straps, dual side pockets, and full side zippers for instant equipment access.

Complete Rigging Cache: Includes a robust hardware set: 10 locking carabiners, 3 single pulleys, 1 double pulley, a Figure 8 descender, and a large anchor plate to manage complex rigging scenarios.

Rope & Cordage: Comes with 200 feet of rope (MBS 6,856 lbs), two 30-foot webbing sections, utility loops, daisy chains, and sewn Prusiks (19" and 25") for progress capture and anchoring.

Edge Protection: Includes two rope guards (EP065 & EP066) to protect your lifeline from abrasion against cliffs, buildings, or boat gunwales.

Why It Matters In a rescue scenario, forgetting a single pulley or anchor strap can halt the operation. This kit ensures that the entire raising system is kept together, organized, and ready for deployment. Whether you are hauling a victim up an embankment or recovering a swamped boat, the EP302RWK provides the "grab-and-go" capability professional teams rely on.

How to Use

1. Transport: Carry the kit to the scene using the lightweight, internal-frame backpack.

2. Anchor: Use the included webbing, daisy chains, and anchor plate to establish a bombproof master point.

3. Rig: Set up your mechanical advantage (e.g., 3:1 Z-rig) using the single and double pulleys, Prusiks, and carabiners.

4. Operate: Perform the raise or recovery, utilizing the Figure 8 for lowering or belay if needed.
