Rope only Descent or Rappel The Easy Way
How to rappel or descend a steep slope in slippery conditions using just a rope. Note that this video is for entertainment and education but if you attempt it, it's at your own risk. I recommend using a harness and a rated rope for rappelling. Here I am on slippery declining ground that requires the aid of a rope for stability. It isn't supporting my entire weight. On steeper declines that would require the rope to support you, the technique can be quite painful on your shoulder and leg. Please practice in a safe, controlled environment.

Will the Directional or Midline Figure 8 Bind Up under load in a Truckers Hitch?
มุมมอง 1.5K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
I was asked by several viewers after my last video, where I suggested ti Figure 8 was better for a truckers hitch than an Alpine Butterfly, if it was as easy to untie. Well here is the answer to that.
Midline Figure 8, Is it Better Than an Alpine Butterfly for a Truckers Hitch?
มุมมอง 4.3K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Bowline is often used to make a Truckers Hitch to secure a load or make a ridgeline. Here is why I think the Midline Fig 8 is better and how to tie it.

    Forever unforgiving of people who think a simple overhand knot solves everything. Come on people - even a figure of 8 is surely better than nothing? Imho, knotwork should be taught in elementary school. I've yet to meet even the smallest child who wasn't fascinated. Not a month since a wee girl in the cafe of a local supermarket, having lost the tag on the zip of her coat, and watching me make a simple 1 inch sennit, clearly thought I was some kind of magician. Haven't seen her since, but I'm still carrying a tiny book on knots in case I do.

      @@OutdoorAcademyAustralia My dad worked in shipbuilding - ended up operating a gigantic crane. Taught me every knot and splice. But, approaching 60, I suffered an 'episode' that our family doctor diagnosed as an ear infection. Took 2 years to establish I'd had a minor (and totally untreated) stroke. One of the things that went right out the window was my knotwork. All gone. But, now 80, books and YT channels like yours have reintroduced me to the subject. Just finished a rope footmat for my front door. Half a century ago I wouldn't have thought twice about it. So why am I so proud of this one?

    I heard about this one from Bear Essentials who said he learned it from someone in Australia ( maybe you?). Thanks for sharing this. It worries me that the loop will come undone under high tension. The double twist seems better. I would love to see a video showing more reliability. For camping it seems plenty secure.

    • @OutdoorAcademyAustralia
      @OutdoorAcademyAustralia 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Cheers mate, yeah DJ gave me a mention in his video which was cool. The knot is stable so long as the loop doesn't fall below the knot. For plastic rope, I definitely use the double twist.
