Good time to sit at home with a good cup of tea and jot down some “lessons learned” from last week’s training runs in the Hydrolab. I’m not sure when I’ll be in the Orlan suit again and I’ll be doing so many different things between now and then, that taking notes is vital. Of course, there is standard training material, but you also have to figure out the way of doing things that works best for you. I guess that’s valid for a lot of things in life!
The two thick blue tethers with the big hooks you see in the picture are the ones we use to secure ourselves to structure. You move along the handrails “via ferrata” style: take one hook off, attach it to the next handrail, take the other one off… and so on. Of course, never have both on the same handrail, or at least have a standoff in between: the idea is that, if a handrail were ever to come off, you would have the other tether to keep you safe.
Orlan training.
