    Loading only one side of a double pulley?

    'cheek plates' Been always wondering why not have like a 4-3-1 w/dbl.sheaves, where dead-end/terminate to 1 sheave with Bowline etc. For more properly balanced pulls on 1 pulley and almost on the other, instead of both off-balance/not aligned.

    Loading only one side of a double pulley?

    Would think could only safely push to safe load limit properly balanced and aligned etc. Also, would look for more rope chafing potential.....

    Why tie instead of rigging carabiner?

    Am KC @IGKT; kinda incident there were changed from treespyder, tough crowd. . i like slings and carabiners for loads then can have several on 1 line, have 1 pulling the other, even the impact of one drop on tight line to side pulling other one around on hinge, or even kinda slide lining one to...

    Why tie instead of rigging carabiner?

    i think mucho better and safer with a preceding Half Hitch; gives more inline structure, dbl.grab; and takes the initial hit off the seam (Bowline or carabiner) and puts it on solid rope. 2nd grab of eye or carabiner choke. From dragging like this i theorize the Half Hitch takes about 70% of...

    Hitch and rope twist

    That is same gap between ArboPlex w/filler fibers and TrueBlue full bull no fillers. And they are first breakers, giving rougher feel in real use. . Some hitches w/o countering turns seem to twist host more. But, all seem to act as a comb, chasing out existing rope twists >>so whether...

    Cow hitch roll out

    Sorry bro, as you know been staring down this deep wormhole a few decades with you and , try different words to same premise as always and all ways of what i think i see: the power of knots is in the arcs. >>but then also there undoing as we see here in the fail of Cow and but then radial in...

    Prusik snug, running bowline basal anchor

    i like naming parts and purposefully placing on chessboard to command an outcome. 180arc over and to Bowline keeps it from unsettling down so much as stabilizer, but that is direction of any expected taper anyway. i have done this, seen some slip perhaps, just think the 3arc thing is more stable...

    Prusik snug, running bowline basal anchor

    i know that in real working world up over a crotch and down to Running Bowline seems to work. >>The choke does seem okay buffered from the main hit and timing. . But as a mechanical logic, the pull up the trunk after the 'buffering' Turn, must at end turn 90 degrees/enter another dimension of...

    Cow hitch roll out

    The real proper control of rope load of the frictions, nips and grips is all from the seating to the host, thru the deformity of the radial arcs. Picking/craning straight up or rigging down verticals with only vertical movement is 1 risk level. Rigging to side, hinge down, or our extreme...

    HFP, Slippery 8 / TALK

    HFP, Slippery 8 / TALK (Totally Adjustable Loop Knot) is a newer knot. Thus not as proven, so still relegated to utility, rather than full rigging and rescue usage. But shows much utility and promise, in an adjustable, Bowline-esque, terminal/end fixed eye. Conceivably can be used midline as...

    Hardware Hauler

    Ropes, pulleys: buckets are nice, can get seats; but as option milk crates breathe; stack and can link some things to. Climbing rope prefer regular rope bag, with accessory pockets. Can load t'row line into variety of ammo boxes, tall one can fit BigShot. Kinda like soft bag shorter one on top...

    Good deal on 3 strand?

    i eventually just went with short slings and friction hitch tails, easy eye splice, wear like iron, friction hitches seemed to have unique grip against braid. Then also reverse, w/3strand as the host and double braid as friction hitch for adjustable lanyard. The nubbier host seemed to offer...

    Question about a concept in art and science of practical rigging

    i think of friction as a buffer, that favors the lesser, control/less active side. It is the stronger pull side's burden to be able to pull thru the friction buffer, like a load against hold thru the helpful friction buffer. But if try to be the larger force, and lift thru the friction buffer...

    Question about a concept in art and science of practical rigging

    my version: Dialable trade off betwixt dropping amount forced past friction buffer of redirect (thus reducing load support) Or Employing rest of line as more part of elastic rubber band concept of same rope. Or choice range tradeoff between these 2 absolute benchmarks. Hybriding together some...

    Hunter S Thompson: On electricity

    It all cost$ money.. The higher, the farther apart, the more resistors, the thicker the cable are all signatures of more $1000's spent as MANDATED per voltage potential carried; against all other efforts to save money. 10' higher pole etc. might be deeper, thicker x 3000 of them; is very...

    Negative rigging

    Mostly i think models direction to groom to/forces to minimize; and the immediate important reason for doing so to control what can. Trying to lend a feel for what is going on. . On job the numbers blur, as aim just mostly at most reactive points in the pattern. Hopefully now with renewed...

    Hunter S Thompson: On electricity

    When wires down can sometimes hold out arm and see hairs move as warning. Have crawled by wires in tree and felt the tingle or even wires touching trees in younger and dumber daze.

    Hunter S Thompson: On electricity

    My view of working with mass is kinda same, only playing that it is trying to get you. And if pick up 25#ball in one hand, it is like a positive charge and will seek 'ground' path thru rest of bod to feet or seat. Lighting up the whole chain from input to output. But if press down purposefully...
