How to Rappel on a Budget

I forsee a rappel accident followed by a tunnel collapse. Kids and their vid cameras these days. It's more about the video to show and tell to friends, and less about the actual experience and doing it right.

"Second thing you need is a good place to rappel. I'm on a railroad bridge."

The was an exceptional video. Exceptional!!

This kid is the man and I don't care what any of you think about it.

Oh man I can't wait for the next installment. "How to perform spinal fracture surgery with stuff from walmart"

" How to build a nuclear reactor with aluminum foil, gum and a chunk of low grade uranium ore"

how to launch the space shuttle with bottle rockets

oh wait, been done

" How to fly in your lawn chair with helium balloons.."

uuuh, also done., but I bet he would have had a better method.

This guy has to be the son of a more retarded Macgyver

I`m surprised he didn't wrap the clothesline around the train track because its metal. He should start his own custom harness company. Is a "Buget" french for something?

I think 'buget is half a baggette' .

I know. Have that book and dozens others on loose nukes and similar.

just figured our boy could do a better job on less parts.

The boyscout actually had the right idea and enough hot fuel to get his backyard shed condemned and turned into a hazmat removal site.

+10 I say if your going to troll, go big or go home. He went big in my book.

Two pages of incredulity? And BTW, I just won the British lottery for 1,000,000 sterling. I just need a way to get it into the good ole' US of A. Can any of you geniuses help me out?

the rappeller seemed to have some extra pockets available in his hunters pouch,(I mean rope bag). See if he's up for an assist.

Richard, have it taken to platform 9 & 3/4; you should see it shortly

Hilarious!

This is amazing!!!! "I don't know much about mountain climbing or anything like that but if you cant get down you probably cant get back up" Priceless!!!!!

Sam B!! I know, hilarious!! my climbing partner always shows me this video! This is my partners favorite part too!!

I'm confused.

He has a quicklink and obviously went through the trouble of learning the prusik, but then he uses that terrible harness, old rope, and hardware store carabiners. It's like he read 1/4th of an article on rappelling then thought, "Meh, I can figure out the rest on my own."

Also, he really does have some other great videos up. My favorite is probably "How to set yourself on fire real easy."
