One thing that doesnt seem to get instilled in (new) brothers enough lately is "Panic" training.....
... Simply put, you will suck down a bottle a lot quicker in a "panic" mode situation. But, if you can regulate your breathing and actions, your chance of survival is a lot greater, and your bottle will last longer.
Too many brothers have sustained injuries by "panicing"... ripping their facepieces off an taking a nasty feed, etc.....
There are some simple, non-lethal/non-illegal ways you can train people to control their breathing under stressful situations. NONE involve "live" fire, so, in essence, nothing will "compare" to the "real deal", but, it may give someone an extra few minutes til the calvary arrives....
...Blackout Mask w/
SCBA on + entanglement--- A key hook or carabiner and rope to part of the back of someone's
SCBA as they're affecting a search in a dark room. Do it in a basement/room with the lights off. See how someone reacts- will the find their knife or remove their pack????
...."The Maze"... If you use a search maze, switch a wall or two here & there, and entrap someone in a 3 x 3 area. No lights, blackout mask....
... "Slim Win"... Reduced Profile- See how many people can actually do one effectively- Vertically or Horizontally. Those that cant will suck down a bottle real quick.
These are just a few things. There are 8 million more.
We operate in a dark, superheated environment. The quicker someone learns that, the quicker they'll learn how to survive.
