Went out in the woods to do a demonstration of a rappelling/abseiling technique that is fairly new to me. It is an ancient technique often given the name the South African style. It is done using only a rope and your body. There is also the advantage that one is able to retrieve the rope from the bottom of the cliff/obstacle. I found that the technique felt very secure. Much more secure than the german Dülfersitz method. A method that while popularly depicted in movies and popular culture is less safe and not something I would recommend be done in an emergency or by beginners. While I suffered some rope burn I was expecting it with the light clothing I was wearing. I would suggest wearing heavier clothes. Also be advised if done quickly or for a prolonged period of time this method has the risk of damaging clothing and skin if unprotected. Be safe and happy exploring/adventuring!

Disclaimer: Do not attempt unless in a safe and controlled environment while under the supervision of trained instructors. Also ensure all proper safety equipment is in use(helmet, crash pads, ect). I am not trained in the instruction of this technique, this video is intended purely for entertainment.
