Folks .. with due respect.

If you want to add on to the end of a thread - how about checking earlier comments? We've already beaten this subject to death. It's vitually suicidal to rappel on a piece of low-strength paracord. The risk of breaking the cord due to dynamic loads is just too high.

However, the subject branched off when one of our readers pointed out that they have rappelled off 1-inch tubular webbing. That's an interesting technique - because webbing is quite light in weight and easy to carry. So the issue boils down to EXACTLY how you do the technique with webbing.

Therefore - back to what I said above.
Enough jawboning - time to go TRY it out. Safely, of course.
Report back when YOU Have got an answer for the forum.

Finally, "rappel" is a valid spelling of the technique.
