[at-l] Jan Nan's story

[kahlena <kahley7@ptd.net>]

Hiyall..

My best to Jan Nan!  I'm sure we are all glad she's recovering!
What a story, full of folks that went the extra mile and more to
help a fellow hiker.  Gives you a really great feeling!

But, and I'm not criticizing, but I can feel the pain she must have 
endured being carried and transfered from piggyback to piggyback.

I was never a boyscout<G>, but have seen references to how to
fashion a litter or a traverse(?) from branches and a sleeping bag.

Does this really work?  I mean it looks like it would, but I'd hate to 
waste time, in a similar situation, trying this in vain.  Most hikers
have cord of some sort and a wire saw doesn't weigh much at all...

Anyone have any experience with this?
