Another activity I’ve been enjoying this summer… (I love things that end in “ing” this summer!)
if anyone wants to go, I have all the gear, just get your own harness (50 bucks)
Here was the very first thing I did. Tied off to my car’s B-pillar:

Planning on doing the grain elevators before the summer is over…
It’s scary as fuck, though…

Did you get my email about repelling the Indian Casino? It’s a bit late now though since it happened Thursday.

Umm make your own harness from rope? Sure it’s not as comfortable but, that’s what I’ve always done.
If you want to do real bad ass rappelling try Australian style. Not for the feint of heart.

This looks like so much fun. I did it a lot several years ago… I think I may just have to get a harness. Sure, swiss seats are easy to make but they aren’t nearly as comfortable.

EMS sells harnesses for like 50 bucks… I have 200 ft of rope and plan on doing the grain elevators soon…

Mike93 and I went by there today and thought that would be fucking awesome. If I pick something up soon, can you show me the ropes? (corny pun intended)

Rappelling down the grain towers would freak me out a bit. But the other stuff would simply be awesome.
