The Kildare En- terprise Board is fully support- ive of the initiative that sees PROTAC negotiat- ing with partners to have the R'Bag range manufac- tured in Ireland, for interna- tional dis- tribution, which will, in turn, bring jobs to Kildare. The R'Bag range is available in a variety of military and civilian colours. Sean said, "I think every group heading into the hills should carry one Stretch-R'Bag and in winter conditions a Shelt- R'Bag could prevent hypothermia." Mountain Rescue Ireland's 2016 statics show that their 12 teams had a total of 405 callouts with over 300 separate incidents where more than 50% of these incidents required helicopter assistance. The largest PHECC recognised EMT training pro- vider in Ireland, Emergency Services Training Insti- tute (ESTI) highly recommends the Stretch-R'Bag. The stretcher bag is not for spinal injuries, as its ideal purpose was for battlefield casualties were every second counts. In the hills, large amount injuries occur in hard to reach locations mostly because of improper footwear or fa- tigue. With the Strech-R'Bag, the majority of these injuries can be brought down to a roadway to get access to emer- gency services if required. The R'Bag range starts from €90 for the Seat-R'Bag – Seating Mat which is ideal for picnics, concerts and walks. Next is €150 for the Range-R'Bag – Range Mat ideal for shooting both sport and operationally. This is followed by the popular €190 Stretch-R'Bag – Emergency Stretcher and the latest €165 for the Shelt-R'Bag – Emergency Shelter which comes in olive green, black, multi-terrain pattern (MTP) or a variety of non-tactical colours across the range.
