@Sebastian Nicholas Practice more my guy, I learned it with 2 dressing gown ties when I was 9. Do it a few times and you'll be sick at it man, good luck. 🍀
6 months, still in either SOI or whatever MOS school. Trust me, you wont need it anymore. Actually thats a lie, barracks shenanigans never cease to amaze.
You never know. I didn't remember, found this refresher, which I can now use to Aussie a steep hillside that cries for a weed wacker. I couldn't get to a lot of it, because my boots have no traction. Now, I can.
Thanks Dude! I went through air assault training as a helicopter pilot so I could see what the infantry was being taught so I could better work with them. You provided an excellent demonstration and we can see why you are an instructor! Carry on!
Was an instructor at Ft. Benning in '71 and '72 and taught rappelling with the "swiss seat". Same as this method. We also tied them in reverse to allow for Australian style repelling (face first). This was before Fast Rope. We we would slack jump from a helicopter (50-60 ft). Toss out 20 feet, release from an L sitting position on the skid, hit the 20 ft and slide the reminder with the brake hand. More fun then you can imagine.
From your experience, is he using static or dynamic rope for that seat? Is it 3/8 or 7/16 size? When you were doing the aussie repel, did you also incorporate a chest harness? Can't find anything specific on the topic, your experience and insight is appreciated. Tango mike!
Thanks for posting this. I’d forgotten everything after “get a rope.” Air assault 1991! ETS’ed less than 30 days later, lol. It was either air assault school or clean trucks coming back from Iraq.
I used to run near side on the rope bridge when I was in JROTC at Raider Competitions in the early 00's Our school won the South East for a bunch of years. Those were some of my greatest memories.
Thanks, I'm going up a tree is this now. I learned how to make a swiss seat in the army in the 80s. Thirty years ago I used this regularly for civilian climbing and repelling after getting the climbing rope set up. Some climber decided to give me shit for it. I guess he had to justify spending a couple hundred bucks on his fancy harness. I see someone said they did this in reverse for Australian repelling but all I was ever taught wrap the rope twice around your waist then I think a square knot and a couple half hitches. I was not particularly fond of the Australian method on my first attempt which was from a skid mounted to the tower.
For everyone saying boner, it's not. I remember very well how tight the rope comes around the package that it juts the fabric forward. It's like sitting kakis x10
No it’s not a boner it’s a combination of how tight he’s got it cinched up and the way BDUs are made. Having it tight around your groin is an extremely critical point to remember while using this. you want to make damn sure that it’s tight around your package because if you don’t you’ll end up cutting your balls off as soon as you’re boots leave the rappelling tower. I remember seeing it happen at ft. benning back in the late 90’s and it certainly left a lasting impression on me to say the least. Squat. Pull. Repeat and gate down so you don’t fuck up.
Been reading the army small unit tactics handbook and they go into this method but it was something i would have to see to learn. Thanks for making the video, very clear instructions.
Thanks, now when I'm done doing my homework and stuff in middle school, I'm just going to get a rope, do that knot and rappel down to my friend and scare the living crap out of him.
That is normal for a Swiss seat. 60 Seconds to tie is nice, I remember when we had to meet the 30 second standard to pass AirAssault. Good Video, Wish I had the chance to do Repel Master course.
He must be good at land nav. His compass points true north.

We had to tie this once in basic, forgot it almost immediately after, thanks for the refresher.
Facts.

I still have scars from my swiss seat in Air Assault school. Thank you Fort Campbell.
Thomas W I’m gonna go there 😬
Must not have tied it right
Was thinking the same!
Yale knot!
Stand Turn Bend place your brake hand on your head and sound off with what you wanna be.

Last time I made rappel seat was 1997. I tried tying one and was kind of close. Thanks Devil Dog for the lesson!!!

If people don't realize this, that's crazy, but I was not ready for that
I know Im late to the party but just seen for the first time. I knew it wasn't, yet I still couldn't stop laughing because im an immature old man :)
Rappel ropes are tight but after airborne school, I don't need birth controls
Been reading the army small unit tactics handbook and they go into this method but it was something i would have to see to learn. Thanks for making the video, very clear instructions.
That swiss seat would tighten you up in all the right places. Don't miss that. Good ol Ft. Campbell.
HRST, that was fun. I when thought the course in ‘12 when it was SOTG.
Thanks for the video i did air assualt school at fort hood back in 1992 so its been a awhile so i was trying to remember. Thanks
Hahahahaha captain hard on
Oh yeah, his carabiner is definitely pointing up.
The last time I used a "Swiss Seat" was Air Assault School. After that it was just a rigger's belt and a locking carabiner.
Thanks dude! I am going to marine boot camp in 2 days and will update this comment after I complete it!
What a legendary thumbnail
I can’t with these military rappel videos 😅😂
That thumbnail is crazy
Welp. it got your view
And that's how you pitch a tent 😂
Thank you for this. Definitely saving this for later;)
Are you kidding me with that thumbnail?
Hahahahahahahaha
But Seeearnt
“It’s a beaut’ Clark!” 😉
He should’ve made 1.37 the thumbnail
Great instruction!!
Also damn that cake!! 😮
also that gun
Thanks, now when I'm done doing my homework and stuff in middle school, I'm just going to get a rope, do that knot and rappel down to my friend and scare the living crap out of him.
Y'all are down bad for coming here because of the thumbnail
our instructor said if you can still breath after the squat its too loose
Carabiner is upside down. Screw down, so you down screw up. Also, should tell type and length of rope
I learned this today in Raiders for JROTC
jreboton12 same but like a week ago
jreboton12 i’m trying to learn it because we’re like 3 weeks in and i haven’t been going in at lunch to learn it with everyone else
ben eadie It took me a while but it gets easier. During competitions we have to do it in under a minute
thank you gentlemen for ur service
Nice thumbnail/beginning picture
Yessssss
How much rope is needed to make a Swiss Seat. The Army told us how to figure it out but I have forgot. But I was in my teens and now 71 years old.
Maybe tie the Swiss seat around you make sure it's tight and from there cut the length required
I suspect that if you're like the rest of us old farts, it will take more rope than it did when we were in our teens... :)
I think we used 6 feet of rope. My training was at Huck Creek survival/mountaineering school in Washington State circa 1988.
Yup, 6 feet... I tried it again 6 feet did the trick, idk if you’ll need mejore if your waist line has increased.
You measure out two, full arm lengths
Great thumbnail
Lmao
this was the part of basic where you find out who the idiots are
Could you show how the repel line goes as well? Thanks
1:38 correction: this is now nice and hard
Oh lord 🤣😂😂😂
Thank you😺👍
they did my boy dirty with the thumb nail
Do you have a hustler poster on your front wall ?
I imagine it's got like 90 %women volunteering for " #RopeClass "😁🤣🤣☝️👆
Air assault is not in fact just “rope class” and many of the best men go through it
You didn't tuck the trailing ends into you pocket. Or is that a new thing?
Lol those tightening squats are the most important step for the guys..
crotch arrangement very important in badeball
COME ON DOUBLE ZERO. Don't worry its just the pleats
Great video. How long is the rope
Sling ropes for rappel seats are typically 15'.
Thank you 😊
Sterling Marathon 10.1
Yes, I'm definitely gay.
I enjoyed this a lot....
I bet you did
the thumbnail is the most zesty thing ive seen all day
How many feet of rope do we need again?? SEMPER FI brothers
12'-15', just watched another how to and they said.
I wonder if he ever watched his own video 😳 would he give it a thumb up👍🤣😅😂
thanks for the video, it was very helpful
It’s actually called a “Swiss Seat”.....💪🤙
I recall the rope being 12' feet, is that correct?
12-15 feet
Chris Powell : That was what I thought. But my waist size is now doubled.
Do you know the general rule because I have forgotten it??
6’ or 2 meters required for average waistline.
Good thing thickness here ain't on a ship
came here for the tittle, stayed for the comments. hahaha
What length of rope is this approximately
12-15 feet
6’ or 2 meters of rope.
That thumbnail is not a clickbait
Man i just came here to say you did NOT have to pic what you did as the cover picture for this video
I do not miss this cutting the sweet life out of my lower body
Moreira? Parece brasileira. Usou essa cadeirinha onde? Machucou bastante?
That looks so fucking uncomfortable lol god bless anyone that needs to use this
1:38 got me ngl
This should be renamed the Deez Nuts Seat
This is unexpectedly hot.
Static or dinamic rope? And whats a diammeter rope? Please I need date
It's a 10.1 Sterling marathon, so technically dynamic. Unsure if it's dry treated though
1:38 you really like your job don't ya
www
If you're being serious then it's excess material that causes this. If you're joking then have a good day
sorry me JAPAN、English NO sorry
@@かもも-d3x no sorry?
Lucky rope! :)
Idk why I thought it was sum type of chair legs
Lmao what 😂 😂 😂
Am I the only person using this for logging and not military work?
Do you have a video of the 60 second requirement to tie it?
thank u bro 🫡
Other video was a 14 year old, I think I’ll watch this one.
Funny thumbnail
Now do it under 90 seconds lol
Where would this be tied to a riggers belt?
How many feet of rope is that ?
Sling ropes for rappel seats are typically 15'.
What’s the belt he has on?
Julian Valles high speed gear
Riggers belt
how long is the rope?
and thickness?
6 foot length. Probably 1/4 or 1/2 inch diameter
Sling ropes for rappel seats are typically 15' long and 11mm in diameter.
So... this is the shibari thing that everyone is talking about....
Главное это не пернуть с подливой
you guys are up there with mlb for the the nicest asses in town
Aren't you supposed to secure the half hitches that bisect your rear trouser pockets before moving onto the square knot on your left hip ?
EOTG Climbers I mean run the working end of the rope back through them and actually tie a knot in them. Secure them.
Is that u Willard
No
Yes, I thought so too. It's been a lot of years but I sure thought it was wrong when watching. Maybe this was change number 3 million 47?
@@flyinbrianewing Right? I remember tightening it up the back and over the shoulders and squat. But I'm old, so it's probably changed by now.
Is that a carabiner in your pocket or are just happy to see me?
It is a boner in his pants
That thumbnail could start this guy's Onlyfans lol
what is the Rope Size (MM) ??
10.1mm sterling marathon is what is being used in the video.
@@eotgclimbers9211 is it dry treated?
9/16” (14.3mm)
How long is the rope?
12-15 feet.
Ok thx
What kind of rope is that?
Probably an 11mm dynamic climbing rope.
Thanks
the thumbnail lmao
wtf is that erection after the squats
Joe Barlow 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That is normal for a Swiss seat. 60 Seconds to tie is nice, I remember when we had to meet the 30 second standard to pass AirAssault. Good Video, Wish I had the chance to do Repel Master course.
It's obviously an erection...
Get Hard .... definitely Airborne
1 1/2" nylon straps are a night 😳 and day😎 DIFFERENCE in comfort for the same harness rig 👍 oh n watch out for a TOO TIGHT 😳🤪🤬PRIMAL ADJUSTMENT TOO
Could of just tied a triple bowline for a harness.
does is matter if its static or dynamic rope?
Not really, but dynamic ropes are easier to tie knots in.
Be sure to rappel on a static line.
he is excited
Horny
All good til you covered the carabiner with your hand so viewers cant see shit. The rest was good.
