...down the wall. Twenty feet down, I felt the harness start to come off, and then it somehow miraculously caught itself. My "figure eight" descender, however, was now at my chest level, I had a death-grip on the rope, and the tips of my toes were on a little ledge. It took about five mimutes for someone to rap down & fix the whole mess with more webbing.
Moral of the story is that you can't have too many good knots securing that kind of makes
continued from the woofna1948 comment just below this one:
I tied a "granny" by mistake and backed it with half hitches, a near-fatal error that I almost paid for with my life.
Tubular nylon webbing is a "slippery" material that doesn't hold knots well. We had hiked up to the summit and put the harnesses on just prior to rappelling. All it took to loosen the knots on my rig was a little moveing around as I waited for my turn. It came, I clipped in, leaned back, and began tentatively walkin
My POV on tubular knots differs. I came within a thin whisker of falling several hundred feet on my very first rappell back in the early 1970's. It was on a university outing club climbing trip to Seneca Rocks, WVA. I was a clueless, wet-behind-the-ears newbie who knew nothing about climbing. We used tubular nylon to make our harnesses - same harness as the first one demonstrated in the video. We were told to finish the harness with a square knot backed up with a full hitch on either side
Good vid ! I have to disagree about the knot though. Square knots, being backed up, are superior to tape knots....in the sense that you can snug it around your waist. If it's not snugged around your waist, you could fall out of it if your upside down.
the second harness not only will load the carabiner in three ways. it will strangulate as you put you weight on it (i´ve already used the 2º one for rappel), so it´s not so confortable and the conection point will get longer eventually. you can use steel carabiners (pref. delta shaped ones) that can be loaded that way. off course, in case of an emergency this can be useful. but if you´re in such a hurry, you´d be very unsafe. nice video, however...! remember! always triple check and be safe!
High agian. this IS the swiss seat. I can do it in two minutes. BTW your tape knot is called a warter knot. good vid. a swiss seat useing webbing is the safest harness for anyone who doesn't own their own. I do have to say that at first you were giving out wrong info, but now I'm giving you a thumbs up. So GOOD ONE.
Excellent video, but I have a question about the second harness: when in use, with the carabiner under load, what is the angle between the two loops with which the harness is attached to the carabiner?
My reason for asking is that I understand three-way loading of carabiners (even screw-gate carabiners) to be against most manufacturers' recommendations.
Thanks again for the useful videos you've posted: I enjoyed this one and the one about constructing a Swiss seat.
If I can make one suggestion. When covering the hasty harness again, move the camera back like 2 more feet.....At times I kind of felt like I was watching avatar again....Just joking bro......another good video b
The second hasty harness is the one I was taught in ROTC.There is also a hasty chest harness that can be used in conjunction for a little more stability or for 2nd party rescue.Thanks I almost always learn from your vids.
I know you guys have a store on your website and you have a few things in it. But I don't know if you guys want to or can do this but, I think you should sell the supplies for making this stuff or doing this stuff in your online store. Personally I wouldn't mind spending some extra money if it meant helping you guys out. Just a thought. ~Graham

Do you have a video of the tape knot?
Maybe I spelled it wrong, but that's what it sounds like.

so do you carry the rope on a retractable lanyard too or do you need to take the bag off for the quick abseil?
TheKeendark 8 months ago
I know how to do it, but you should show the two most common swiss seats.(a harness usually used for one rope bridge.)
i can teach you the older way if needed.
