Subject: Survival Repelling and Climbing Basics Date: 28 April 07 In a primitive environment one will sooner or later find the need to repel down a cliff, steep slope or to safely climb. I recommend picking up some of the basic equipment needed and having a reference available of how to use it. See the following links for more detail. One can also take local courses that orient on the rigging needed and how to use it.
