Other feature(s) such as light(s) may be provided. In a preferred embodiment, the pole is substantially non-reactive with respect to the victim and the surrounding area where a rescue would be attempted. A victim may be rescued by a rescue operator by steps which can include providing the victim snare pole to the rescue operator, and locating the victim; inspecting the victim and his surroundings, and discerning how to rescue him with the victim snare pole; action(s) is/are selected of hooking and pulling the victim back in the direction of the rescue operator employing the hook of the pole, securing the victim with the non-sliding snare loop by causing the non-sliding snare loop to surround a part of the victim followed by twisting the victim snare pole to tighten the non-sliding snare loop around that part of the victim and then pulling him back in the direction of the rescue operator, or combining these hooking and securing and pulling actions.
