The Carry

What different carry techniques do you use?
For example:
"Fireman's Carry Technique (Unconscious Subject):
1) Lay the subject on a flat surface, face up, legs together
2) Push his feet (together) towards the individual's hip
3) While directly facing the individual's feet, grab his arms and pull towards you using your own body weight.
[His bent legs will work as a lever]
4) Once the individual's legs are straight and perpendicular to the surface, grab his right with your left one while you turn your body 90ยบ left underneath his torso and pull him until his body is distributed through your upper back.
5) Hook your right arm around the individual's right knee and bring your right hand to his right hand/sleeve while still hooking around his knee with your elbow.
[This will serve as a "strap" so the individual will not fall to the ground]
6) Use your lead foot to bring him up while using the trail foot for balance."
"How NOT to carry someone:
1) Do not bring them up by their throats
2) Do not bash their heads on the wall
3) Do not carry them with the head down
4) Do not bash their heads on the doorway"
