[thiefofa]

QUICK LINKS:
Method 1: 1:22 (not safe or comfortable)
Method 2: 3:32 (use this one)

Lying in bed at 11pm thinking these are the life skills I need to know just incase 😅

I learned the first in the army and descended with it quite safely. Not comfortable, but fast, like when you need to climb down some stories in case of emergency.

Thank you! I keep my rope by the balcony in case of fire or earth quake. Your video has helped me brainstorm in case of real emergency, since I have a small dog and would want to save her more than anything else.

The trick is keeping all the furniture in the same room

I’m terrified of getting stuck on a ski lift and thinking I need to carry rope and learn how to get myself down

[joeyzuber]

I imagine weird rescue situations where I'd be useless to help (like my But now I could at least go down to someone with just a rope. Great video.

i just want to say thankyou so much for this, i saw it a few months ago and while going back down a moutian i had climed there was one more ledge that i had to do and then it was just a little walk down, and my harness broke so i used the dulfersitz reppel and it worked but you were right i do have a massive rope burn on my hands from holding the rope, my back and shoulder. but just. THANK YOU !

Thanks for nice vid.
This seems to be one of the most informative video about dulfersitz.

[youtooyoutoo]

re 1:18 Anyone who has used this Body, Dulfersitz, or Wrap rap knows it does matter (a lot!). The single strand Dulfersitz is much more painful/damaging, due to the severe concentration of force & heat on the clothing, (preferably leather, canvass, or sturdy cotton).
re 1:47 Where the rope lifts his shirt, should never be allowed. The lines should go up along his butt crack (insulation) (NOT around your leg) and around his trunk above his hip crest and along his ribs, across his breast & collar bones to his shoulder top. He does not show it, but you control your rate of descent by moving your braking hand around your trunk toward your navel or beyond, adding friction surface, NOT by gripping tighter for more pressure! Don't slouch. Try to face the up-rope (not twisted as shown) to see your progress and footing.
I recommend using a natural material shirt or preferably jacket with a collar.

Thank you so much...needed a safe way to get down using just a rope a short distance...15 - 20 ft. Will give these a shot!

Thank you.
This really helped with a landscaping job.

This is cool thanks for doing a video on this

[songmlf]

I found a video on descending on a single or double rope with no other attachments.

[tomatoish]

In theory though if you use the double rope dulfersitz you could go balcony to balcony down a building, if you had 4 times the distance between floors yes no? but if you use a single rope it has to be tied off and once you reach the end of the rope your descent is over yes no?

Your qualifications to be teaching rappelling? Just curious being retired military myself.

[plywoodcarjohnson]

Fascinating. So if u prepare with two pair of pants, a thick jacket, lets say for construction workers? Plus gloves and a lot of practise? Well it is worth practising.. Falling out of the rope with the first method would be slightly disturbing.

Never rappel of cliff in these methods. Only use them on steep slopes where you can use good footing on decent. South African method is not designed for being suspended

[bartdart]

The first method, especially say if u r in the alps, might lead to a "fire dans les testicule".😅😅😅
