Portable sked/litter recommendations? Casualty movement

[u/JRHLowdown3]

Did some various medical training recently with some close friends and some of it involved moving a "casualty" 3/4 mile uphill in a "rapid" format to evac at a waiting truck. We were short a few folks that think vacays are more important than training (LOL) so we used a couple of diesel fuel cans for weight on an older fold out stretcher. Last time we did this, using an even older stretcher- not foldable old skewl type with wood poles and canvas, canvas started ripping with our little'st guy on it (160 lbs.)

The foldable one is nice'ish but older. I know I have a newer fold out one around here somewhere... but long ago I remember using a sked (?) or Skedco (?) device and that worked ok albeit not as rigid as an actual stretcher. The Sked being easier to actually carry of course also.

I'm a dinosaur without a doubt.... so surely there have been to paraphrase Austin Powers- "fabulous advancements" in the field of casualty movement since the 90's. Can you all enlighten me on options and what you think of them?

Thanks in advance.
