SS Avalanche::Design Drawing

This project set out to design a backpack to be used by first responders during emergency mountain rescues, specifically the variety hindered by the white fluffy stuff that we call snow. And if you were wondering the Eskimo don’t have a million words for snow, that’s the stuff of urban legend.  At any rate, the need for prepared first responders in mountain rescue situations is real and the tale of a successful rescue by a prepared rescue team can become legendary.

This pack looked to incorporate a camel-pak, a way to carry a shovel, lots of rope, a first aid kit, and collapsible probes that aid in locating a buried victim.
