You and another list member suggested them, and I called and lo and
behold, they still had the WoodZig in stock! I ordered two of them.

We think _a_lot_ about moving the rock. And if the patient is close
to the entrance, air bags and compressed gas are appropriate. And
cave and mountain rescuers are exceptionally adept at rigging
mechanical advantage hauling systems from minimal lightweight gear.
And we sometimes use explosives, but mostly just to enlarge passages
for a litter. But sometimes, you just can't move the rock without
equipment that simply can't be brought to the patient.
