Looking for some advice/ideas.

Does anyone have any recommendations for VICTIM flotation.

Requirement(s): Highly portable, light weight (preferred), simple/idiot proof (for both rescuer and victim), functional for children/adults (within reason), functional in both swiftwater and stillwater situations (although swiftwater is the general emphasis), land-deployable, and stowable/durable.

Use would be primarily focused on rescues in mountainous areas away from roads/vehicles.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Galls.com carries a foldable basket,a floatation system can
be added .Description states will keep victim upright. Cost for
folding $600.00 floats $300.00 using it once and it WORKS ?
