I'm not so sure the Singing Tree Quickie will fit as a replacement for the small DMM shackle on the Captain. The holes where the bolt/screw of the DMM shackle go aren't large enough in diameter to fit the slic pin of the Quickie.
To address your previous ideas concerning the Captain in a...

I'm sorry I can't help myself.
Check out the crazy mods he made to this BDB.
It looks like an entirely different device!

Just curious, Gordon!
This fella seems to live a pretty happy and interesting life:
Climb trees all day (at your own pace)
Buy ALL the gear and tinker with it
Film and edit youtube videos
Create and maintain fire in wood burning stove
Cook over fire for food
Rest and Repeat.
Maybe I'll...
Seriously though, look at the mods he's done to this BDB.
You gotta admit it looks pretty badass. He's got the rubber grips on the bottom arm because F*** you that's why.
Yes he's constantly uploading content. Like 2 3 vids a day. And most of it is his doing all this crazy tinkering, but some of it is him actually working - and alot of what he's doing seems incredibly unnecessary (waltz around his YouTube videos and you're bound to find an example). However he...
I've run the Adjustable BDB on Scion Blue. The performance was comparable to the Yale 11.7's (Arrowfrog, Blue Moon, PI/Tropical Ivy etc). The best performance I've found is with 32-48 strand "static" ropes like KMIII Max and Kernmaster.
@Treetopflyer has used the BDB with both Scandere and...

@Timbr the device is about 1.5 years old, it's used frequently (70-80% of the trees I climb)
I've recently disassembled and cleaned the entire device - I used this cleaner called Brasso which is a copper aluminum steel etc cleaner polish. Took all the dark corrosive gunk right off. Applied...
It is alive!
The Adjustable Top Arm Assembly is a success. It works great. The KM3 max is running great, almost better than the kernmaster when it was new. I had to really cinch the bollard tight because the KM3 flattens quite a bit and I suppose that was the major cause of the slippage, along...
I got some crazy ideas the past few days, trying to figure out that this whole rope slippage/performance issue, and I'd like to share them now.
First idea I got: Has anyone thought about somehow integrating a rope wrench into the device? I thought about a few possible scenarios (didn't...
