JimmyJimJam, there's 1000 ways to skin a cat.

Quit reading about it and go and practice... Go Slow, tie into a completely separate backup rope with a bit of slack if you don't trust yourself.

If you cant talk a friend into getting numb legs while they hang around waiting for you, fill a big bag with water bottles or sand or something and get to it!

You can ask and ask, but plenty of people have given you reasonable ways to do things. I don't think you'll ever have the solve all rescue as it changes due to many variables... what if you don't have enough biners due to your mate having all the rack, or your partner wakes up and starts being combative (good story in Steve House book about that...).

If you're not comfortable going out and practicing/learning by yourself, pay a guide to show you.
