The NRS Z-Drag Rescue Kit is a complete swiftwater rescue kit. With everything you need for rescuing a pinned boat, including a reference crib sheet, the Z-Drag Kit is a great investment in keeping your boating partners and your rafting rig safe.
- Complete hardware kit for swiftwater rescues
- With this kit you can set up a 3:1 mechanical advantage Z-drag and increase your pulling effort
- Includes rope, and all the carabiners, pulleys, tubular webbing, and prussik cord needed for setup
- All the gear packs into the included Purest Mesh Duffel Bag

The Crib Sheet is a good reminder tool, but we also recommend you take a river rescue class. There you'll not only get to practice the rescue systems, you'll also learn other skills for protecting yourself and your boating companions.

GrabLine has a high-tenacity polypropylene "tread-like" sheath pattern, giving both rescuer and victim gripping power while also providing buoyancy. The nylon core adds strength and keeps the rope flexible for storage and deployment.
Super-durable, low-stretch HTP Static Rope features a unique sheath construction that inhibits picking and stays firm for effective handling despite the load. Its strength and durability make it a great choice for specialized rigging, speed lines and hauling applications.
