The invention discloses a soft drag type stretcher. Two nylon reinforcing belts and two corresponding locking buttons are fixed on a piece of canvas respectively, wherein the reinforcing belts are used for increasing the weight bearing capacity of the canvas so as to prevent the canvas from being damaged by an overlarge force; and the locking buttons are used for prolonging the stretcher by connection with a backpack belt; the two sides of the canvas are folded backward to form a cylinder, and when a stretcher is required, a gun cleaning rod can be inserted into the cylinder to form a simple stretcher; and tongs are arranged at two ends for lifting the stretcher. The stretcher thus formed has the characteristics of simple manufacturing, convenient carrying and quick rescue. The problem that the armoured cavalry of China does not have a formed lifesaving apparatus is solved.
