| | DIY Swiss Rappelling Harness < on 5/12/2009 12:43 AM >
| | | This is great for getting down from anything from rock faces, to trees, to buildings. and its also quite a bit cheaper than the harnesses found at sports stores. a good skill to have when your making a harness on the go. Do make this you will need 6 to 10 feet of rope depending on your body size (thick enough to support your weight) Scissors or a knife The ability to understand my instructions -Take your rope and fold it in half. -Put the fold of the rope on the lower part of your ass and pull the rope in front of you as far as you can. -Twist the rope over itself a few times making a licorice type thing (you will attach a carabiner to this later. -Take the rope coming out of the licorice thing and wrap it around your thigh from the outside of your leg. -Push the ends of the rope through the last twist of the licorice thing. -Pull the ends of the rope where your belt buckle would be and tie a knot of your choice here. -Cut off slack rope but leave enough to re-tie the know if needed. -Get a carabiner that will support your weight and attach it to the licorice twist near your waist. -Attach a length of rope to the carabiner. -Test out your harness before using it on any size building. -Good luck rappelling! If you have any questions on my instructions feel free to post a reply.

| | | Also, the two ropes that run between your legs can be very uncomfortable on the testicles (if you have them) so I wrapped duct tape between them. 139111.jpg (16 kb, 542x598)
Also, the swiss seat harness has the "Pedobear seal of approval"! [last edit 5/20/2009 5:11 AM by takeonlypictures - edited 1 times]
