Conterra SCARAB Rescue Tool

This device will absolutely change the way you perform rope rescue. The SCARAB® represents five years of research and testing by Rick Lipke and the design team at Conterra. It was born out of the need for a small, simple device that could easily control heavy rescue loads, as well as excel at pick offs, twin rope systems and other general rescue techniques. The SCARAB® does all this and more. With two models available, the SCARAB® is the perfect choice for both Fire/Rescue and back country rescue environments

:

• Incredibly strong
• Does not twist the rope
• Instantly adjustable friction (just wrap a horn)
• Lower 600 lb loads with two fingers
• Super easy lock off
• Easy to use, right or left handed
• Single and double rope capable
• Attach rope without unclipping from anchor

 

The SCARAB Ti Ultra light alpine rescue tool is the tool of choice for mountain rescue or those concerned with weight. Machined from solid Titanium plate it weighs in at 185g (6.6oz) and works with 6mm-11mm rope.

The SCARAB FR Ultra versitile rescue tool is the perfect choice for rescuers that need to comply with NFPA 1983 standards. machined from solid 303 Stainless plate it meets the NFPA 1983 "G" rating for general use. It weighs in at 385g (13.8oz) and works with 9mm-13mm rope.

Conterra Magnum Rope Bag

 

The Magnum Rope Bag is engineered for professionals.

 

One day, Rick Lipke wondered if a rope bag could be built that would give good protection for the rope in or out of the bag, had easy access to both rope ends, and was easy to stuff.

 

The result is the Magnum Rope bag, the first totally new concept to come along in rope bags for years.

The Magnum Rope bag features 1000d Cordura construction, and can hold up to 100M of 12mm rescue rope.

The bag has a zippered bellows, that when deployed doubles the opening size of the top, making stuffing the bag a breeze.

The bag is double ended so both ends of the rope are accessible ( a real plus for intelligent rigging). The bottom end of the bag sports a #6 brass grommet to tie your rope off.

A unique feature of this bag is a 5ft x 5ft flaking tarp ( tethered inside the front pocket), which helps protect the rope from mud & debris during a raise. When you add reflective striping, a vinyl window, adjustable shoulder straps, and a large grab loop, you’ve got the best rope bag available anywhere.

Of course it’s lifetime guaranteed, and made in USA.
