Joel: So Kevin, what is next?
Kevin: Well we just finished rappelling on this rock now we are going to wrap up the rope we are going to make a backpack so you are going to tie both ends and match it up as [inaudible] and it will be used as the end. I will show you.
Now we are going to get a full length and I am just going to lace this over the shoulders like what I am doing.
Joel: You are pulling both at the same time?
Kevin: I am pulling both at the same time [inaudible] just make sure you put this over the neck around the shoulders every time. Now what this is going to do is to get to the end of the rope, I am almost there only a couple of more wraps and you will see it. There is the end bite, pop that and I go over to the neck.
Now I am holding the middle and I have my slack and what I am going to do is a couple of wraps here that cinches the rope down and I am going to pass it to what is called a bite through loop shows another bite, pull that through now we have a rope almost like a backpack so holding the two ends, they are on my back I am going to cross the shoulders and --- Oh it look like I am just out of slack. This is so painful. Oh! It could have been perfect.
So what I will do is to back up, I almost had the perfect backpack. I did not quite anticipate the distance that I needed. So what I am going to do is an un-butterfly one length and now I am going to rewrap the valve, cruising through here again that bite throws, cinch it down, back to where we were now let us start over on the backpack. You make it high on the back goes across the front. You make a super x on front and lace it around backside.
Joel: Why around the entire rope?
Kevin: That way the rope does not flap around.
All right I have a lot of slack, let us see if I can get a double wrap. I can do a double wrap then I would just snagging it up and use a nice Classic Boy Scout square knot. Look at that beauty and I have got my rope backpack.
Joel Let us roll.
