Quick Overview

The EVAC Systems Charlotte Throw Bag is a professional-grade buoyant rope carrier for swiftwater rescue. Its integrated foam float keeps the bag on the water's surface, creating a highly visible and easily grabbable target for a victim in turbulent conditions.

Field Application Steps

Confirm bag is loaded with 75' of buoyant rope; secure the rescuer's end and open the drawstring fully.
For night operations, activate and insert a chemical light stick into the external elastic loops.
Establish a stable stance and signal intent to the victim with a loud verbal command like "ROPE!".
Execute a smooth throw, aiming just past and slightly upstream of the victim to let the current assist.
Once the victim has the rope, use a pendulum maneuver (ferry angle) to bring them to safety.
If the throw is missed, quickly retrieve the floating bag, re-stuff the rope, and redeploy.
