Like Batman's Utility belt So, one day I started to play with a bit of 5mm climbing rope and to cut a long story short made myself a belt that with one flip and a pull, turns into a safety/escape/rescue rope. I now know from the 'Ashley Book of Knots' (That's the "Knotters" Bible) that what I have done is an expansion of a 'Monkey Chain' Sinnett (see below # for weird coincidence ). From the drawing one can see that the width can be continued to infinity by adding loops. I personally have made one twelve loops wide. I hope that those of you who may have need of a safety/escape/rescue rope will use this method to construct one and one day it may actually save a life. See less
