New York State Department of Conservation Forest Rangers from DEC Regions 5 and 6 gathered at Toothaker Creek State Forest on May 12 for part two of their annual operations-level technical rope rescue refresher training. Fifteen Rangers trained to improve proficiency in the use of the use of dual capability two-tension rope systems and the pike and pivot technique to perform a vertical litter hoist without the use of a high-directional anchor.
