Which carry method is associated with poncho or blouses?

• A. Arms Carry
• B. Field expedient litter
• C. Pack Strap Carry
• D. Saddleback Carry

Answer: (C)

In field transport, you learn to make use of gear you’re already wearing. Pack Strap Carry means using the shoulder straps of your pack to help carry a load. When a poncho or blouse is involved, you can fold or place the fabric so the pack strap cradles it against your body, allowing you to move a light load quickly with your hands free. It’s fast and doesn’t require additional improvised hardware, which is why it’s the method most closely associated with using poncho or blouse materials in a carry. The other methods rely on holding the item in the arms, building a more formal improvised litter, or using the poncho as a saddle, which are distinct approaches from this strap-based carrying technique.
