  • good video, except the figure eight tie into harness did not finish the knot for safety, either by passing the end through the back or a simple overhand to backup the figure eight.

  • should be slower and from POV of knot tier.

  • Thanks for showing the super figure of 8. I first saw it on Petzl's catalogue and was always curious about how the two loops gets to be different sizes. Now I know. Thanks again.

  • Not Bad

  • I would like all rescue people to watch the video of the J-Arms frictionless descender and critique our new invention with relation to unlimited rescue application. See the You tube video of the frictionless descender. Search for j-arms. This rappelling device will revolutionize the sport and rescue applications. There is always an easier solution.

  • Awesome video guide, very clear demonstration.

    Thanks!
