Blackhawk! Rapid Flex Medical Litter Pack

The Blackhawk! Rapid Flex Medical Litter Pack is a compact, portable stretcher system built to extract and move an injured person fast—whether during a hunting accident, off-road emergency, or remote-area rescue. Designed for hunters, SAR volunteers, and tactical teams who operate far from immediate medical support, this litter trades high-angle climbing capability for simplicity and packability. It's the kind of gear you hope never to need but absolutely want in your pack if the day comes.

Built from heavy-duty impermeable PVC tarpaulin, the litter resists moisture and tears in rough conditions. Six robust 2-inch nylon webbing handles—two on each long side and one at each end—let multiple people coordinate a smooth carry or, in a pinch, allow a single rescuer to drag the patient using the reinforced drag straps. The adjustable torso strap (up to 76 inches with a side-release buckle) keeps an injured or incapacitated person centered and stable during movement. When you're done, the whole rig rolls into a tight bundle with its own carry handle, stowing neatly in a pack, vehicle kit, or camp setup.

This is not designed for vertical or high-angle rescue work—it's a ground-level extraction and transport tool. But for backcountry hunters, overlanders, and anyone organizing a field medical response, that's exactly what you need. It weighs just over two pounds empty, meaning you can carry it without a second thought.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can one person use the Rapid Flex Litter to move an injured person alone?

Yes. The reinforced drag straps are designed to handle a one-person drag in an emergency. While multiple rescuers make the process safer and easier, the litter's construction supports solo extraction if necessary.

Is this litter suitable for cliff rescue or vertical rope work?

No. The Rapid Flex Litter is not rated for high-angle rescue. It's designed for ground-level extraction and transport on flat or sloped terrain. For vertical or technical rescue, you need equipment and training specifically certified for that use.

What's included, and how does it pack down?

The litter comes as a single unit and rolls into a compact bundle measuring 4 inches deep by 20 inches wide, with its own carry handle attached. This tight package makes it practical to stow in a vehicle kit, backpack, or camp medical bag.

What keeps a patient stable during transport?

An adjustable torso strap made from 2-inch nylon webbing wraps around the patient and fastens with a side-release buckle. It adjusts up to 76 inches in length and helps prevent the injured person from rolling or shifting during movement.
