HI! So this tutorial saved me before. I was attempting to free solo the flat irons in Colorado and luckily my friends brought a rope with us, Because i got stuck on this one part next to a tree, the rock became chossy and didn't feel comfortable climbing up or down. I luckily had service and quickly googled a tutorial on how to rappel with only a rope. Your video came up, I watched it and safely rappelled myself down to a ledge. So thanks!

Well, depends on what you do. I do rock climbing, and I NEED the gear and knots, otherwise, I can't really push my physical boundraries. Of course, I could just do easier and/or shorter routes without a harness, even without a rope, but that's just betting your life on something stupid.

If such an animal existed I believe it would avoid humans and live as nature intended. I don't really enjoy large crowds myself and prefer to be outdoors. Quite often, I'm thought of as odd. I, too, have an interest in cryptozoology so thought it was a neat channel name. I do not refer to myself as a "beast" in the commonly accepted fashion. Rather, a "beast" thats often misunderstood and means no harm. Love your channel by the way. :)

Great instructional vid. I had a go at this in Namibia, althought it wasn't this high or steep. Worked well although my friction points were in my groin area! Ouch. See, do and understand... only way to go. Surprisingly I felt in total control and the psychological effects of 'the force' wanting to pull me over the edge to my doom more or less went away. I like the way one can do this without harness and are able to recover the rope. Once is never enough and this has reminded me of the finer details. Ta.I have subscribed.

This is practical for cavers. We typically have some rope or webbing for short drops or may encounter a short vertical drop in a horizontal cave. We wear cave suits or tough clothing so rope burns should not be much of an issue. I did a 20 foot arm rappel once and there were a few foot rocks on the way down. If the walls were straight down they your method would provide more stability and be safer. Thanks for the demo.

Interesting variation of Dulfer rappel. Seems to be more stable - nice to have one hand free. However, the friction is equally horrible in both methods. I think it makes most sense to climb down having weight on your feet, using the rappel knot just as safety - it will hold if you fall.

Excelent video to survive in extreme conditions. :-)

Maybe a way to atop the friction to your arm is to strap some sticks to the front part of your arm. A big piece of bark or old she could work. If you have webbing, a belt or make quick cordage to wrap would be helpful. I realize this is a quick fix, but sometimes wounds like that in the woods can have devastating consequences. Especially if you have make more than one descent. Thanks for the video. It is good information on how to get yourself out of a bind with no gear.

What about making a swiss seat leaving one end much longer and wrap that around the tree? would that work?

Great video! Really clear and well explained. I think I learned something like this as a cadet (now forgotten!) but with one line in each hand and facing forwards (and running?!) Needless to say, they don't teach kids like they used to 😁 In an emergency situation, would paracord work? (I know, serious burns etc).

Awesome thought! Would make a fun video. I'll consider it! =) Kenton

Climbing rope usually comes in length of 150 ft, a good brand is edelweiss, that's what I use, and you must practice the repelling technique on a shallow incline till you master the technique and are quite comfortable and secure with it, now normally I use a descending eight carabiner at least two locking gate a Swiss seat, and a another person on ballet, climbing should never be done alone, which is the first rule in safety and always wear a helmet, you will find that the equipment is not cheap !!!

A modified version of the old Dulffersitz rappel...also "not painless".

There are a two methods that I've developed to use the entire length of rope for repel by using a secondary significantly lighter rope to remove the repel rope from above.

Nice! Do you have the methods posted anywhere? Would be fascinating to see!

No, haven’t posted it. Make a loop at the upper end and place the rope around a tree/boulder/whatever and pass the other end of the rope through the loop and throw it below. Then take a low weight line, 85 lb test strength or greater and tie it to the loop and throw it below. Belay to the bottom of both ropes. You could have made a harness with a portion of the rope with a “D” or “O” ring instead of using the free style method you use. Pull down the lightweight rope attached to the repel rope loop and you end up with the two ropes, (repel rope and lightweight rope) at the bottom of the repel or intermediary repel location. Simple!!!

Wow! My mind isn't super visual, so I'm going to have to actually rig this up and try it. Sounds amazing! If I can get it working smoothly, would you be open to me doing a video on it at some point?

@@ReWildUniversity Now that you have the solution you have no need not to do a video. It would be helpful to me should you let your audience know that UL Performance, provided the solution that you are presenting. I’m the originator of the convertible zippered pants and the inventor of a survival/hiking pack and running pack that eliminates the eight bio-mechanical inefficiencies of the typical backpacks sold throughout the world. I’ve also created a 4.05 ounce Dyneema floorless tent measuring 4ft wide X 8.5 ft long X 3 ft, 11-1/2 in high, potentially the worlds lightest tent.

Wow, amazing! You obviously have a wonderfully innovative mind =) If I do indeed make the video, I'll of course let people know you're the source!
