| Jan 13, 2017 at 17:30 | comment | added | cr0 | The question was mostly focused on fabrication of a throw bag, but 'do without the bag, just throw rope (and know the coils and knots to facilitate that for a rescue)' could work. The main question is in bold in the OP: How can one prepare for rope rescue in advance, in case it is needed, without having purchased a 'throw bag'? | |

If the victim is beneath the surface, having something highly visible dangling down from the hole they can surface to is precious. On a different note, good point on researching throw ropes - just takes the bag out of the equation and simplifies this equipment question by making it more a technique (knots, coiling, throwing) question. That could serve as an answer | |
