Don´t try this! Warning it´s dangerous! Keine Nachahmung empfohlen!
With one Rope, Line a 550 parachute cord and one climbing carabiner abseiling. Professional advice should always be sought before entering any dangerous environment or situation! Abseilen an einer 4 mm Fallschirmspringer Leine, Paracord, abseilen mit nur einem Karabiner. !! NEVER RISK ANYTHING !! Survival Rappelling with Parachute Cord, Paracord abseiling
Please remember that this will just work in an emergency smooth rappel. A high shock will very probably break the rope, and you can die.
If you wanna load light and still wanna rappel, instead of using the typical 9-11mm rope, you can use a lighter 7.8mm one approved for climbing and rappelling.
Many thanks for watching and not judging but instead informing. Best to you Sepp
@@Waldhandwerk thank you for your appreciation!
If you didn't already, perhaps people would also love a video covering other emergency rappel techniques, such as making a Swiss Seat to rappel with it plus a carabiner, and how we can secure ourselves to the rope for such a descent with a Paracord Marchard or Prussik knot.
And did you check the South African Abseil technique? They improved the classical no-harness double rope rappel.
Best to you, too! =)
PS: There are 2 carabiner variations for emergency rappelling too, to add friction to the descent.
@The Old Leafybeard thanks for the tips and ideas. In my old videos i made some of this abseiling. Take care Sepp
I have a decent background in technical rope rescue. I never begrudge those who are innovative and creative when it comes to anything, and the same goes for on-rope activities. However...this is a really, really bad idea, in my humble opinion. Without going into detail and putting everyone to sleep, there is NO safe working load (SWL) for paracord when it comes to attaching a human being to that line. Even in an "emergency", things can go from bad to life threatening in a second should that line break. Doubling the cord does nothing for the strength, unless you're using two lines, rigged independent of each other. And attaching it to a tree with abrasive bark and no protection is just asking for a catastrophic failure. When you add in the fact that knots reduce the minimum breaking strength (MBS) of any cordage/rope by 30% to nearly 50%, you're talking SCARY weight limits. Add in heat from friction, abrasion and shock loading and you better hope you've made peace with your Higher Power of choice. On top of it all, using a carabiner as a rappel device--even with rope designed for this sort of use--is a dicey endeavor. Unless I'm in a burning building or similar situation, there's no way you could get me on that rig.
Try something like a Black Diamond Alpine Bod Harness, Mammut 6mm Rappel Cord and any variety of rappel devices designed for skinny ropes and you have a solid and safe system that can be stowed in your pack with a minimum of space of weight. Train and practice with your kit in a controlled environment. Do your homework. It's your life, after all.
+hwypilot1 This comment needs to be on to top! As an arborist, recreational climber and trained in basic RAT, I totally agree with hwypilot. Unless you are facing certain death, do not attemt this, for the reasons stated above. At least experiment with it from a safe height - with a backup - and a friend - near a hospital ;-)
interesting and informative comment thanks. what would be an ideal emergency line to carry for emergency rappelling (eg. stuck on ski resort elevator, flaming building ..). What would be the best safe/transportable in your opinion ? are there other options such as metal cables ?thanks
Video: Rappel with 550 paracord ... ruclips.net/video/9AY8YiIdD8A/видео.html ... spoiler alert, he lives (don't be too quick to draw conclusions about the rope :-)).
I have 2000lb kevlar cord... works great for rappeling...
mountaineering is not a set standard. whatever works works man. he evan said at the beginning; dont try this at home. I have confidence in this system for emergency situations. you have what you have.
"Never let this go, or you will die..." GREAT video! Thank you for sharing.
Zombie Fighter Jango ;) thank you for watching! All the best, Sepp

Hallo Volker, mein guter Freund, freut mich wenn es Dir zugesagt hat. ...viel Spaß und gebt auf Euch acht, Sepp
Danke Remo, nett wenn´s Dir gefallen hat!
Vielen Dank Benedikt, ...so ist es. Alles Gute mein Freund, Sepp
Really good advice and great video Sepp..Many thanks. Paul.
Hello Robert, ...thank you very much. Have a great Day, Sepp
I agree with this guy from the blade forums:
"I rappell quite a bit and you can go all the way down to a 5mm cord as long as the working load (15% of tensile strength) is more than your weight and equipment combined (specifically spectra type cords). However, consider the friction and abrasion of the cord going over the cliff or ledge, a tiny scrape may cause the cord to fail critically. Anything under a 8mm cord will require a Personal Escape descender which is smaller than a regular descender and specifically designed for thinner ropes.
However, anything under an 8mm personal escape rope is taking your life in your hands... rappelling with this equipment should be done only if certain death is guaranteed if you do not escape. Paracord should never be used for rappelling because tensile strength is 550lbs which means the working strength is only 82 lbs. Also, Paracord is not a static line. Dynamic rope is very very bad for rappelling as it will stretch and bounce and may snap after a few bounds.
Also consider if rappelling out of a burning building, that ropes are highly inflammable and will melt under relative low heat."

Thank you very much. Have a fine Day Mate.
Thank you very much. Glad you liked it. ATB Sepp
Glad you liked it Allen! All the best, Sepp
Klasse einfach toll und auch verrückt. Was ist das für seil und wo bekommt man es?
Thank you so much my good friend Hardy. Have a fine Day, Sepp
Thank you so much my dear friend Jim. ...you´re always welcome ; ) All the best, Sepp
Fun video & great job in talking about safety & the dangers of using lite cordage. I agree, any good outdoors man or woman should know their knots.
I wish you the best!
Hi, I was away for just a few hours and with this string I could not make jumps, no fast repelling, step by step and it worked. ATB Sepp
Have you every done it on a free air descent? If you have enough cord, wouldnt it better if you double it? I mean 2 strings ?
Vielen Dank mein Freund Nick! Have a fine Day, Sepp
Did you say this was with German paracord ? Is it any thicker or tougher than the American stuff ? I wouldn't want to do this with the line unprotected on the tree, as you could very easily abrade through it. Very cool though !
Thank you Tamar ; ) All the best, Sepp
Hallo, vielen Dank für Deinen Kommentar und Deine Erfahrung. Alles Gute, Sepp
great job Sepp! Your videos are ever made in a very clear and good way!... Continue in this way, we are learning a lot. ;)
Very cool, I've always wondered about doing this, but I'm not a climber. thanks for the demonstration!
Thank you so much my good friend, ...also for your ratings! Have a great week, Sepp
Thank you very much Denis ; ) ...Have a good time, Sepp
Thank you so much my good friend. Have a fine Day, Sepp
Thanks a lot my friend.
Servus Phil, ...vielen Dank mein Freund! Schönen Tag, Sepp
Hallo, ...vielen Dank ; ) Schönes Wochenende, Sepp
Awesome video, Sepp! BE CAREFUL! I selfishly want to keep watching your videos, so stay alive and keep making them! Really cool technique.
Danke Matze
Hi Sam, yes, the shop had no paracord at this time and told me the german paracord has the same stats. 220 kg strongness and so on. I think it has also just 4 or 5 mm thinkess. Happy Weekend, Sepp
How much weight does the paracord hold before breaking?
Hallo Marc, vielen Dank, nett wenn´s Dir gefallen hat. Lieber Gruß Sepp
Herzlichen Dank Tito, ...sehr nett von Dir, ...ganz so wie ich Dich kennen lernen durfte. Lieber Gruß an Euch, Sepp
Hey sepp this was cool to watch I've never seen this done with paracord
Great video Sepp, enjoyed it very much...
Vielen Dank mein guter Freund, das gleiche an Dich! LG Sepp
Many thanks m´friend. Take care, Sepp
Hallo Stephan mein guter Freund ; ) Danke für Deinen Kommentar. ...wenn Sandra das Video mal anschaut ist es vielleicht besser ich geh derweil mit den Kindern spazieren ; )) Alles Gute, Sepp
WOW, that was a great video!!
Thanks a lot my good friend Brett. ...ok i will. Best wishes, Sepp
Hello Sepp, you are a braver man than me doing that on paracord, I doubt many people could manage it as well as you did. Very well done and keep safe!
Glad you made it! The video, and made it down the drop. Scary stuff, but ingenious. Well done as usual.
A great video Sepp and a bit scary too. For me, being heavy, I like to put a second twist in the Munter after the round turn - it gives more resistance and still operates both directions.
As you say, don't let go of the loose end, and because of that I would back up the Munter with a French Prussic in a sling, just in case.
Hallo Daniel, danke für´s zuschauen und kommentieren. ...eingeschnitten zum Glück gar nicht, es war relativ einfach sich mit einer Hand zu sichern. ...aber klar, das gezeigte ist die allerletzte Lösung ...viel kann man da nicht mehr weglassen, haha. Kameras und Mikro usw. ist sicher immer eine Schwachstelle bei mir. Mal sehen ; ) irgendwann bin ich ja sogar HD geworden ; )) LG Sepp
Thanks my good friend, ...Ive tried your way before with a stronger rope, also dangerous, but also good to know. Have a nice weekend, Sepp
; ) ...thanks a lot my good friend Bill. Stay safe, Sepp
Thank you.
Thank you very much, good comment, well said and heard ; )) All the best, Sepp
Well presented! enjoyed watching that Sepp. Didn't know your way of tying a repelling seat =) Thanks for sharing!
Alles gutte, Nick
Glad you liked it my good friend!
Very awesome Sepp! You be careful out there my friend!
Thanks, my friend Alex, ....you know me to well ; )) All the best, Sepp
I sense that the Zeppelin loop knot is safer than the bowline.
Am I correct?
Nice video anyway.
Prost :)
Cool knot! Thanks did not know this one. Glad i suvived ;) Take care, Sepp
Hi Nick, thank you so much my good friend, i will (try ; ) All the best, Sepp
Why do you not use a backpack or gloves?
Hallo Gü mein guter Freund, ...die Hoffnung mir Dir mal wieder los zu starten hält mich bestimmt am Leben ; )) Danke und lass es Dir gut gehen, Sepp
Freut mich wenn´s Dir gefallen hat Stefan ; ) ...zugegeben bushcrafte ich lieber, aber seit ich hier etwas öffentlich geworden bin ist das nicht mehr so leicht ; )) LG Sepp
Cool video!
Thanks
Thank you sir! For desperate measures only. I know. But I've put myself in some stupid positions before so good to know.
Besten Dank, auch für den Hinweis! ...cool. LG Sepp
that was amazing
great video really nice one
Thx for watching.
Thank you very much Digger ; ) Have a fine Day my friend. Sepp
Hallo Richard, vielen Dank mein Freund, ...ja das würde mir auch gut gefallen, sie wurden anscheinend immer wieder mal zu Wohnzwecken benützt, ...ganz lange her ; )) Alles Gute, Sepp
Da bekomm ich ja schwitzige Hände vom zuschauen! Respekt!
Wow! I know that feeling.
Very well done... I enjoyed this very much.
~Andoni~
I am glad we got to see this video :))
Don't worry my friend: I don't think I'll do this anytime soon just for fun!
But it is a good thing to know!
Thanks for sharing!
All teh best,
Denis
Hi, thanks for watching, ...yes in this video watch?v=OuXSOXrx4NQ for a few meters. We had it double, around a tree, to get the rope back after repelling. All the best, Sepp
Hab nochmal nachgedacht und ich meine, man könnte aus einem der Seilenden auch noch solch einen Sicherungsprusik konstruieren. Bei der Dicke eines Seiles zwar nicht so toll, aber bei dünneren Reepschnüren sollte da etwas machbar sein.
Vielleicht probier ich mal was aus ...
VG, Tim
Thanks Rob, ...you know me too well my good friend ; ) Best wishes, Sepp
Sepp,
Great rappelling and instructions. You floated down that cliff like a butterfly....well, kind of a noisy butterfly :). Loved the video and your honest post rappel facial expressions.
Sorry I've missed corresponding lately.
Best to your family. Take care my friend,
Larry
I thought you are crazy, now I know!
Great video as always my friend!
Alex
...thanks for watching my´friend. Good decision ; ) Stay safe, Sepp
; )) thanks John! ...cool comment. All the best, Sepp
Vielen Dank. Lieber Gruß Sepp
Thank you for the great video. How hot did the carabiner get?
Many thanks, ...very warm but still tangible? ;) Best wishes, Sepp
Ok, because I had read that aluminum got almost too hot to touch on paracord rappelling but the guy doing it had it coiled (one strand) around the carabiner about 6x; he didn't have your setup, and he only came down about 15ft. So let's say you're trying to rappel off of the 4th floor of a burning building--no other way out--your method would be the best?
Wutzthedeal ;) ...if i would have to flee from a fire and just 18th of paracord with one carabiner or metall ring, ...yes. At least now i would feel "save" to abseil my little childrens in such a situation. ...hope im never in ;) Take care.
Thank you, Sepp. Kev
Hallo mein Freund, ...danke für´s zuschauen und Deinen coolen Kommentar. Freut mich wenn´s Dir gefallen hat ; ) Alles Gute, Sepp
