How to Rappel in an Emergency | Expedient Rappelling | Tactical Rifleman

When I did my “Hiking Pack” video, a few months back, there were lots of questions about the little roll of Spectra Line that I carry. I mentioned that I carry it “Just in case” I needed to rappel. Well, the internet lost their minds. Some “Pros” were screaming that you can’t rappel with anything but “Approved” rappel rope; while others were saying they wanted to know more. So, here I am giving you a small taste of a ”expedient rappelling,” that I teach in a few of our higher tier “High Risk Travel” courses. First; if your ass is learning how to rappel by watching videos on the internet, you are wrong. Get out and get a real class from professionals. Every fire department has EMS/Rescue crews trained in proper rappelling techniques. I learned rappelling, starting as a private in Korea. Then, Air Assault School, then, 5 years in a RECON Platoon. Add working with mountain teams, training in my CIF company, and then finish it off with the Rappel Master course. That taught me the Basics. That’s it, the basics. So, get out an get a real class before you fall to your death. Second; this video is about EXPEDIENT Rappelling. “Expedient” is making do with what you have, to complete the required task. To best do this, you need to know what “Correct” looks like. Learn how to Rappel correctly. Then, when you find yourself stuck somewhere, you can break it down just like any other task, by steps. To Rappel you need: Anchor Point Rope Harness Carabiner & Figure-8 (or Descender) Gloves & Helmet If you are missing any one of these, adapt and overcome with whatever you have at hand. Ask yourself “What makes that piece Correct?” Then, improvise. Don’t rappel with 550 cord!!! Can you? Yes. Have I? Yes, but only in training and only with new 550 cord that was off of a safe tower with rope guards and a safety line. Run 550 cord over the edge of a rock cliff, and you may cut one of the 7 inner strands; which you wont know because you can’t see them from the outside. Next time you put weight on it, pop, and down you go. I like Amsteel or Spectra Line, which is what is on the winch of my jeep. The 2.5mm Amsteel is rated for 2200 pounds. It is an exposed 12 strand braid; so I can inspect it before I use it. Link: https://amzn.to/2X7mrsN Link: https://amzn.to/2IJIYmf Expedient is solving the problem with what you have. If you have nothing, look again. Open your eyes wider. I like the hotel room analogy, because I have taught these classes a few times. We have used braided 6” strips of bed sheets. We have used the fire hose from the hallway. We have used the 200 ft of Coax Cable hanging off the side of the building, going up to the sat dish on the roof. Crazy, yes. Scary, yes. Unsafe, yes. Safer than staying there and just sucking your thumb? Well, you be the judge. I’ll see you on the ground.
