You mean body rappel.

@@muaad8932 If thats what its officially called, yes. For one reason or another, when all you have is a rope.

@@atubeviewer4942 yeah. Tried that in my training days. Rope burn is a bitch. Haha

Google Dülfersitz Rappel

2 CARABINERS WILL NOT CREATE ENOUGH FRICTION, UNLESS IT IS REALLY STIFF AND THICK ROPE (PERHAPS USING A STATIC 11.5 OR 12 MM ROPE). Before the figure 8 was invented, most mountain climbers used last example (carabiner brake method) because it did not put any twist on the rope, as did the older method of the carabiner wrap rappel.

That is the only way I've ever known to rappel. I've done it countless times with a single rope and a double rope. Both regular rappelling and opossum style (head first). I learned everything I know about rappelling from JROTC in high school and then the Army. That's just how we always rappelled. I've always thought it was strange when I see people doing all these incredibly overly complicated knots and contraptions when rappelling. I just wrap the rope around the carabiner (D ring as we called it), keep your brake hand in the center of your back, and off you go. You can go as fast or as slow as you want to, you can stop and hold in place, and you have plenty of control. It's just a simple and effective way of rappelling. It's the only way I know how to do it.

What is the strength of the 1100 paracord?

@@rappelclub8271 1100 pounds

It should work, depending on how thick the cord is, if it is thin patacord like the 550, you are better off with the wrap rappel, a.k.a. the ranger rappel.
