Re: Never seen that rappeling deviceHello,
Yes to secure yourself.
You clip the sling on your harness, and in parallel, you use an abseiling device to get down.

Re: Its name is...We call it "Machard" in France.
It is supposedly better with a locking carabiner indeed. But with an express you have more space to move around.
Thanks !

self-jam knotwell this special type of knot is called marshal knot.it has one-way lock ability.prussik in the other hand has two way locking ability but has less grip than marshal.if use a carabiner with it the carabiner SHOULD NOT be used as a load holder.and to get the best grip you should use 4 turn on the main rope.less or more turns would cause decrease in knot`s grip.
