If you are in a situation where you are the only person available, and you need to move the person immediately, you use the drag carry.
Stand behind the person's head, and use their clothing to drag them backward, supporting their head and neck for as little movement as possible.
Remember, this is only in an emergency situation where they must be moved immediately. Doing this can result in severe spinal injury aggravation resulting in paralysis or impaired motor function, so if at all possible you should wait for a second rescuer with equipment, or an ambulance.

∙ 14y agoDo not move an unconscious person unless the patient is in danger of being burnt, or is in a perilous situation. The person could have an injured spine or neck. Moving the victim could result in further injury and paralysis. If you must move the person by yourself you can carry the person over your shoulder. If the person is too heavy and it is possible to safely drag the person away from danger by grabbing his or her ankles and pulling him or her to safety. Hopefully you will never have to do that. If there is no danger keep the person still and don't move him unless he or she needs a tourniquet. Stop all bleeding, check for breathing and do CPR if needed. Check pulse and see if the eyes are evenly dilated. Call 911. If you can't get through to 911 call someone you know or an operator and get help. If you are in the wilderness with no cell phone coverage try to cover the victim with something warm and run to get help and don't forget the way back to the victim. If you are in the snow then try to get patient to a warm place and get help.....unless you suspect there is a spinal injury.
If you are skiing you can use skis as a gurney and slide the patient to help if you cannot get through on a cell phone.

A "fireman's carry" is the recommended method if you can lift and carry the victim. Otherwise an improvised litter if this is practical. Any method is limited by the capabilities of the transporting person.

The preferred method for moving the victim long distance?
The preferred method is on a litter or a stretcher. You can improvise litters--there's a way to wrap a poncho around two long poles so the victim doesn't fall out.
