How to set up a repellent and repel it safely Before you start learning how to set up a repellent you need to gather the following tools: 2 people, a rope that can reach the ground from where you want to repel yourself ( should be 10mm static rope), a figure eight, four carabiners, a harness, knowledge of how to tie figure eights and water knots, two pieces of webbing long enough to tie to a stable structure on the rope and gloves skin. It should take 30 minutes to an hour to set up this repulsion. You must first go and find an area you can push back into that has 3 points to bind from. You need to find 3 sturdy points that won't give way when you start to push back. Some examples would be thick trees, steel beams, and concrete pillars. Then you need to tie a figure eight knot at the end of the rope you are repelling from. You will then wrap the rope around the secure structure five times, thread a carabiner into the figure eight, and attach and lock it to the other end of the rope. Pull the rope so that it is tight and there is no possibility of slipping. Then find the other two points to tie from and go ahead and tie the webbing in water knots around the anchor points and attach a carabiner and lock it to the rope webbing. Where you attach the carabiner to the rope you should also tie a figure eight knot in the rope. Once you have everything tied up, you need to go ahead and test the ropes to make sure they don't slip. Now that everything is safe and secure you need to unfold the rope on the ground. Before throwing the rope you must shout "rope" to let those below know what is coming down. Then put on the harness and the person who does not intend to repel the rope should go ahead and climb down to the place where you intend to repel. They will go down there to ensure your safety if you start to fall. Next you need to insert a carabiner into the bottom of the harness and also throw the belt..
