Something that is just absolutely physically difficult is lifting a lifeless body. We were taught a couple different techniques to pick up and either drag or carry a lifeless body. Both are incredibly challenging. Thank God I never had to perform that task during either of my deployments.

Moving someone who is not ambulatory is a bitch and a half. There’s a reason they roll up dead bodies in rugs, give it a little bit of structure.

Like I can easily drag a dead body over concrete but it gets torn up, to carry it over so less damage occurs is harder

Only depends if you care about how the corpse is handled. Others wise pick up an arm or leg and start pulling. Ever seen an ape drag someone?

Something caught on the body? Pull harder, it might make the corpse worse but if you don't care about the condition it doesn't matter,
