Stick up and rappel down?

I don’t know anything about rappelling and this is probably the dumbest question, but how do y’all get the rope down?

I use my Doyle's Hoist. I attach it to the loop on the rope and when I get down I just pull the loop down.

I've just started using my LWHC to go up the tree and rappel down using 40" of Oplux. Kong Chuy and an auto block. I got everything from @DanO Eastern Woods Oudoors. When I rappel down I just leave the LWHC on my feet just cocked so it doesn't grab the tree unless I want it to. I've got a Mad Rock Safeguard I'm going to use for climbing with the LWHC but haven't tried it yet.

I tried using the base from my Hawk self climber and it was “ok” but at the end of the night I realized I could do exactly the same. I was able to come down in one go. It was awesome!

I remember the year I got my Hawk and climbing down at night. It wasn’t exactly a safe feeling. Rappel down feels much safer.
