    Base jumping equipment.

    Get one of these



    Updrafts caused by the heat of the fire could make it work.

    That looks only good for one person? I guess that is Ok for hermits.

    Generally speaking you need one which has two ropes as one goes down the other goes up so the next person can use it.



    The really adventurous can use an escape tube?

    Better to think inside the pub, than outside the box?

    I find myself so stupid to live in high floor and not having a cheap survival tool.

    Any other idea ?


    Thank you.
    Hello,

    Most things Thai fabricate themselves. Try to find a good welder and buy your materials at the local steel shop. Understand Thai can't read drawings, you have to show pictures and measurements. Good luck.
