VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION:

The goal of this is we’re going to teach you the four ways you can get out of entanglement.

So, I feel something, so stop and back up. Now when you stop and you back up, the next move is you get on your left side.

Now why your left side? It’s because our air hose comes off our left. If we go on our right it’s in the air.

Now, you might even get caught in this stage, by stopping and backing up and getting clear we still get on our left side. We still get our cutters out and we start cutting.

We’re going to scrub the ground then were going to swim. See what we’re doing here? This on our left side will get us through this thing.
