Subject: Survival Repelling and Climbing Basics 
Date: 28 April 07

In a primitive environment one will sooner or later find the need to repel down 
a cliff, steep slope or to safely climb.  I recommend picking up some of the 
basic equipment needed and having a reference available of how to use it.  See 
the following links for more detail.  One can also take local courses that 
orient on the rigging needed and how to use it.
