PRE-TENSIONED FRONT TIE
A pre-tensioned front tie is employed
when anchor points have been
extended a significant distance to a
focal point, where substantial slack
can be generated when the anchor
system is not tensioned. To “pre-
tension” and remove the slack from
the system, a front tie is constructed

that is simply strong enough to apply
tension to the focal point. This is not
a life safety load and a much weaker
anchor point and smaller cordage
can accomplish this task if required.
The front tie tends to pull the focal
point down into the dirt at ground
level, which is a poor location to
manage a rescue load. Placing an
object, such a pack, under the focal
point allows it to float and creates a
much better working environment for
rescuers (Figures 117 and 118).
