Rappelling / Abseilling: Techniques, useful outdoor skills

http://www.peaksurvival.us/Abseiling___Rappelling.html For more info: The primary use of Abseiling is a technique used by rock climbers and mountaineers to descend a pitch or section of climb. The main benefit of Abseiling or Rappelling is speed as once a climber has finished a climb, descent is often the trickiest and most dangerous part.




When we talk about Abseiling or Rappelling with reference to a survival situation then we normally make the assumption that the only commodity we have access to is a rope. Rock climbers and mountaineers have many ways to attach themselves to the rope and slow there means of descent by friction: * Karabiner with an Italian Hitch (friction knot) * Karabiner with figure of 8 descender * Karabiner with Stitch plate * Karabiner with GriGri * Karabiner with Petzl stop




Unless you have access to a harness and karabiner or a sling and karabiner, then you are limited to using a body abseil:

Why don't you simply use a munter hitch if you have a carabiner? It is more safe and more convinient in my opinion than your presented techniques..

@superrhino100 superdummy100 is well know for being dumb fool on youtube. You can easily find people pointing out his stupidity all over this place in countless videos. Trool the trools people. They are trying to act smart and when you can prove them wrong it really hurts them bad. It is the opposite of what they are looking for. Superrhino100, you continue to amaze me and amuse me with your stupidity. Maybe one of these days you will learn your dummy spot in this world, hahaha!!!
