Look up lead leg forward search. Search like this will make you fall in a hole when you find one. Also it’s slow and forces you to keep your head down. Lead leg forward does all of the opposite.

For searching in an open area, yes.. they are in a confined space prop however, there’s no way you are tripoding through a maze.

I wouldn’t recommend it unless I’ve done it. Also we have 60+ recruits per class do it through tougher areas than this.

Good on you Mrs. Incredible. I’m just saying it looks like they just crawled through a smaller area and if it’s their first time going through this, they won’t know that they have room to change stances. There’s no 1 perfect way to do anything.

Anyone who's gone through the Drager Trailer knows ain't nobody going one foot forward through that.
