Quick Overview

The EVAC Systems SAR Pack is a 3,000-cubic-inch technical rescue backpack designed for Search and Rescue operators who must carry both team rigging equipment and personal sustainment gear during field deployment.

The pack's core capability is its segregated architecture, which keeps technical rescue gear and personal sustainment completely independent. The dedicated bottom compartment holds up to 200 feet of 1/2-inch rescue rope, while internal gear loops and fasteners organize carabiners, pulleys, and ascenders for immediate deployment. This separation ensures that accessing rope and hardware never disturbs survival essentials, a critical operational advantage during time-sensitive rescues.

Personal readiness is supported through two large external pockets for rations, rain gear, and headlamps, plus a dedicated hydration bladder sleeve compatible with standard reservoirs. The pack's field-ready construction uses 1,000 Denier Cordura Nylon throughout, providing professional-grade abrasion resistance against rock, brush, and confined underground environments. Front-face daisy chains allow operators to externally lash helmets, crampons, ice axes, and other bulky items without consuming internal volume.

The EVAC SAR Pack is Berry Compliant and manufactured in the USA, meeting federal procurement standards for government and military teams. It is the recognized loadout standard for individual operators on Search and Rescue, Mountain Rescue, and Cave Rescue teams who require a single pack capable of sustaining both the mission and the operator across extended wilderness, high-angle, and disaster response operations.

Field Application Steps

1. PREPARE THE ROPE COMPARTMENT: Flake up to 200 feet of 1/2-inch rescue rope directly into the dedicated bottom compartment. Ensure the rope is loaded cleanly so it can be deployed without tangling when the compartment is opened in the field.

2. RACK TECHNICAL HARDWARE: Attach carabiners, pulleys, webbing, and ascenders onto the internal gear loops and fasteners inside the main compartment. Organize hardware by function so each item is accessible without unpacking surrounding equipment.

3. LOAD THE HYDRATION RESERVOIR: Slide a full hydration reservoir into the designated sleeve inside the pack. Route the drink tube through the appropriate port before closing the compartment to ensure access during movement.

4. PACK THE EXTERNAL SUSTAINMENT POCKETS: Use the two large external pockets for mission-critical personal items including rain gear, food rations, headlamps, and a personal first aid kit. Keep these pockets organized so essential items can be retrieved without opening the main compartment.

5. SECURE EXTERNAL BULKY EQUIPMENT: Utilize the front-face daisy chains and lash points to attach a helmet, ice axe, crampons, or other bulky items that do not require internal protection. Confirm all external attachments are snug and will not shift during movement over technical terrain.
