How to climb a rope and how to make a Swiss seat for rappelling.

Climbing was part of growing up in the countryside be it to harvest tropical fruits that were in abundance in the canopy, interacting with nature, or simply to get a birds-eye view. It is a survival skill for sure and could save your life or even someone else. Demonstrated here is a technique used to climb rope and how to make a Swiss seat used for rappelling. The Swiss seat attached to a safety line is also a good safety apparatus when climbing but someone has to tend the line by hauling the line taught as you ascend and slack it as you descend.
