I'm putting together a survival kit for my office. Really it's more like a disaster kit. It doesn't need to be pocket sized, but I want to keep the entire kit small enough to fit in a desk drawer due to my workspace requirements. One area I thought about covering is the possibility of rapelling out of the building in case of a fire that might block the exits. I don’t feel like I have the space for a real climbing rope, but a bundle of 550 cord would fit nicely. Does anybody know if/how it is possible to rappel on 550 cord or is this crazy? Any other ideas? I currently work on the 4th floor. A compact and light rapelling system might also be good to take when staying in a high-rise hotel.<br><br>
