Everyone,

Although I have practiced the "All In Rescue" in the past, I didn't practice 
it this time. I personally haven't abondoned any rescue technique. My 
philosophy is to practice a lot of different techniques, regardless of how 
good or bad they are, because I never know when a particular one might come 
in handy. Also, they are all a lot of fun to do. One good thing about the all 
in rescue is that you stay together during the rescue, which could prevent 
separation, keep a scared partner calm or keep an inexperienced partner from 
making a mistake that makes the situation worse. In the past year or so I did 
read a book or article or see a video that said what Steve Holtzman mentioned 
about it being better to do a self-rescue first and then help others in an 
"all in" situation.
