All you have to do is make sure there is nothing downstream that will hurt you - if there is, I don't work their. A weight belt is a non starter when you have to hike a mile or two, with a heavy pack already. At 65, its hard enough, just getting my butt out! After years of carrying around a first aid kit, I have realized that most injuries are to small or to large for them. Now all I carry a clean rag and a small roll of duct tape.

I hope you got a clean rag so I can go out again !!!

Grab your hard hat and lets go! And bring a note from the doc that says you can take another rock to the head.

Fun informative video for people wanting to try this.It is almost the same way when pulling civil war bullets out of cracks in creeks . The cracks catch the heavy stuff.
