This is the second video of a two part series following the Ronin Rejects Rescue Team in Seville Spain. The "Rejects" are Ronin staff and sponsored by the company. In part two you see the team competing at the event and their after thoughts. Ronin is proud of our staff who take the time and effort to participate in these events. We have had over 30 of our staff compete in an event since 2013. We feel it makes our Ronin Team better rescuers, riggers and more well rounded people.

The Ronin Rejects is the name that the young, full time staff of Ronin Safety and Rescue compete under. These staff primarily perform rescue standby and rope access for Ronin, while completing training and gaining experience to become firefighters and paramedics. While it may seem counterproductive to train staff to leave, the vast majority come back and work for Ronin part time, once they get hired with an Emergency Service. This is Part One of a Two part video series of the trials and tribulations of the team at Rescue Great Day in Seville. Ronin Rescue used to field a competition team for the rescue competitions however realized that only a small percentage of the company was getting this competition experience. We now try to have at least two (if not more) of the 5 team members that are competing be brand new to the competition team and competing at events. The average (mean) age of this team is 27.5 years old and if you remove the team leader the average age is 23.25 years old. The average (mean) years of service at Ronin for this team is 2.5 years. While young and inexperienced, it is experiences like this that not just improves their rescue and rope skills, but creates lifelong bonds of friendship. In Part 1 of the video it follows the crew during training in Canada and getting to Seville. The coordination of the pre-training and travel is the responsibility of the team members and adds to the "learning experiences". Part One wraps up with the team completing the Day 1 "fun scenario" and someone coming down with a medical issue.....

This is episode 2 of 2 of the "rookie" Ronin GRIMP Team competing in Japan in Feb 2023. This episode covers all of the scenarios and the highs and lows that go with competing, especially for the first time.

Ronin at GRIMP Japan Back in the pre-COVID days of 2019, Ronin Rescue competed at GRIMP Japan. It was the team’s last competition prior to the world shutting down. Post COVID, the “competition” team did one more run together in Seville (Rescue Great Day 2022) and then a decision was made. We were placing well. Regular top 10 and even a handful of top 5 finishes. But only a select group of Ronin staff was gaining this experience. So we changed focus and entered a new “rookie” team for GRIMP Japan in 2023. Only the Team Leader had competed on a Ronin team prior. For experience we brought up one of the Ronin USA staff who had competed with his Fire Department (not with a Ronin Team) at GRIMP NA in 2022. The other 3 team members had never competed prior. They were younger staff, not full time Fire but full time with the company. For an example, the previous teams average age was 48. This teams is 30. There is a generation gap between the Team Leader and the Team Members. The patient - was our office manager. She learned to climb rope 6 weeks prior to the event. These were all challenges we had not experienced prior. We knew this would be interesting, challenging, entertaining, so we decided to document it. Both the training and the competition. The team was humbled but not deterred from competing again and gained knowledge and experience that they were unable to gain anywhere else. Well done! We are proud of their efforts. Thanks to our sponsors. ​⁠@TeufelbergerGroup ​⁠@arcteryx ​⁠@CMCPro ​⁠@CampSafety Training Division STREP

Some systems such as certain scenarios with SRT or in a two rope system if you have a safety line failure (slack safety line touches something hot in industry??) could require rescue from the tension line. Really a worse case scenario. #grimp

A Happy Holidays greeting from the rescue community worldwide.
