Is there a safe way to repel down a building or sheer drop using 550 paracord? I'm thinking it can be done if you use several lengths of paracord to multiply its thickness. I know it is not recommended and I know it's not what it is designed for, but I know it can do it because I keep reading about emergency instructors showing how to do it and I keep reading about people's personal experiences doing it. I'm trying to find out how they do it and I want to see for myself if it is safe. Maybe we can find a way to make it safer. The thing is, with all the stuff I'm reading I don't see any instructions or any pictures/videos.

Can you post a link to instructions on how it is done?

I'm trying to find a way to repel using only the items in my Go Bag.

The things in my kit that I think may help are:
Work Gloves
Backpack (maybe the straps can be used somehow)
Tarp (maybe can be fashioned into a seat)
Hooded Poncho (again maybe a seat)
Re-usable Tie-Wraps
Hammock

I'd be willing to carry a climbing carabiner.
