With the '''pack-strap carry''', it is possible to carry a heavy person for some distance. Use the following procedure: 
# Place the casualty in a supine position. 
# Lie down on your side along the casualty’s uninjured or less injured side. Your shoulder should be next to the casualty’s armpit. 
# Pull the casualty’s far leg over your own, holding it there if necessary.
# Grasp the casualty’s far arm at the wrist and bring it over your upper shoulder as you roll and pull the casualty onto your back. 
# Raise up your knees, holding your free arm for balance and support. Hold both the casualty’s wrists close against your chest with your other hand. 
# Lean forward as you rise to your feet, and keep both of your shoulders under the casualty’s armpits. Do not attempt to carry a seriously injured person by means of the pack-strap carry, especially if the arms, spine, neck, or ribs are fractured.
