Roman stretcher (Medical)
#4
Hi FrederikA, I can't think of any explicit evidence off hand but your post reminded me of the time I went for a week's training to be a Summer Mountain Leader up at Glenmore Lodge in Scotland - we were trained on how to evacuate a casualty off the mountain if that person was unable to walk.

A survival blanket was used as an emergency stretcher with two walking poles wrapped up along the edges as handles. It was surprisingly effective. I remember thinking at that time that a cloak and two spears/javelins would serve the same purpose.
