The New York city fire department uses the carabiner wrap with an 8 inch locking "hook" (large caribiner) for all roof and self rescues. Very strong, time tested. Good video thanks.

I new about the carabiner wrap rappel and the munter hitch, but the others are way cool, especially the "french rappel" one.

Sweet memories of Boy Scouts. No harness, just a rope seat. A couple beeners or an 8 plate. A real man´s rappelling setup. Kids today have it SO easy with their fancy Grigris and other descenders. Thanks for this. I am trying to get back into it.

Excellent demonstration! I’m a novice looking to just mess around in the back yard tree, climbing up and down. At 64, I want to minimize screwing up, and falling.😂😂😂😂Thank you! I was taught how to rescue rappel with the fire dept., however that was minimal training and we only used carabiners. I just didn’t remember exactly how it looped without accidentally unscrewing the carabiner and dropping like a rock. I plan on practicing just a few feet off the ground until I’m comfortable that I know what I’m doing. Thanks again!!

Hi. Has anyone actually rappelled with a single rope carabiner wrap before? I'm curious to hear about it.

That is the only way I've ever known to rappel. I've done it countless times with a single rope and a double rope. Both regular rappelling and opossum style (head first). I learned everything I know about rappelling from JROTC in high school and then the Army. That's just how we always rappelled. I've always thought it was strange when I see people doing all these incredibly overly complicated knots and contraptions when rappelling. I just wrap the rope around the carabiner (D ring as we called it), keep your brake hand in the center of your back, and off you go. You can go as fast or as slow as you want to, you can stop and hold in place, and you have plenty of control. It's just a simple and effective way of rappelling. It's the only way I know how to do it.

Couldn’t the last example be done with 2 instead of 4. I would think doubling wouldn’t be necessary except in certain circumstances. Thanks

2 CARABINERS WILL NOT CREATE ENOUGH FRICTION, UNLESS IT IS REALLY STIFF AND THICK ROPE (PERHAPS USING A STATIC 11.5 OR 12 MM ROPE). Before the figure 8 was invented, most mountain climbers used last example (carabiner brake method) because it did not put any twist on the rope, as did the older method of the carabiner wrap rappel.

It should work, depending on how thick the cord is, if it is thin patacord like the 550, you are better off with the wrap rappel, a.k.a. the ranger rappel.
