    Compact Bulldog Bone

    Thanks @monkeylove Yes got the extra cotter pins with the BDB in the mail. I'll try upping to the large bollard when working on the HTP. I suppose the small bollard will make working on imori better. So I guess I have to decide which rope I want to work on more....cuz I can't just switch...

    Compact Bulldog Bone

    BDB arrived today in the mail - perfect timing for a rainy, work-is-cancelled-what-the-hell-am-I-supposed-to-do-with-myself day. Here are my initial thoughts (along with some questions for the more experience BDB users): First thing I noticed: It looks badass. If an alien ninja warrior...

    Ok ok I think I get what you are talkin' bout willis. You have any pictures or video of this technique? I like how minimalist it sounds

    @Treetopflyer is a "pony tail redirect" similar to the method of redirecting a DdRT system by tying a stopper knot below the system, pulling the redirected tail to move the system around an obstacle instead of climbing up and over it? You have any links (videos/literature) to help illustrate...

    Ok...I'm sorry but could you elaborate further on the DdRT rigging inside vs SRT rigging outside thing? Lost me a bit.

    Wow I appreciate the thorough response about this. I see what you guys are getting at with the friction saver TIP for the most part. Ok so let me get retrieval clarified though: You tie the accessory cordage where? And you lost me a bit with the "ascender on the accessory cordage" thing. In...

    Yes. I don't like it because one of the reasons I like SRT is not having to retrieve something that could possibly get stuck (not saying you can't get shit stuck srt, just wayyy less of a chance). Also don't like having to retrieve something that requires it "falling" out of the tree.

    Yes! The other midline method I enjoy is the pinto/AP butterfly + carabiner Do these anchorage options make it possible to retrieve the anchor even if your working end and your retrv. leg are not "parallel" (don't know another word for this so I'm going with parallel - a word i have to...

    I think the reason I canopy tie so much is it forces me to isolate my throwline....if I set a base anchor, and canopy anchor after ascent, I might not descend on the same side as base leg side (which is now my retrieval side of my canopy anchor. I notice that if you don't descend "parallel"...

    @oceans @SoftBankHawks @Worthaug Do you doods have any tricks for measuring out your desired working line/tail length and canopy anchoring your line, without having to pass your whole system/whole working length of line through a running bowline or other method of canopy cinch? To clarify: How...

    @oceans I watched your video (DSRT I think) I found that alternating anchor to anchor on two bones (just like Paul's vid with the crazy Japanese (?) subtitles) was unique and fascinating. Having two manage two ropes seems very cumbersome on paper, but watching it in action it looks quite...

    2016 srtwp redirects

    @SoftBankHawks Yes I understand what you're saying with the second line You build the redirect by attaching a ring loop to your primary working line, pass the second line over the desired point of redirect and pass the end through the ring loop, tie a midline AB with a long tail for retrieval (I...

    This is a new idea to me, the minimal tail thing. A lightbulb just kind came on in my head: "having a pile of rope to manage in a tree sucks". I like the idea of having less tail to screw around with So you anchor your line with just enough tail to reach the ground? What happens if you want...

    This was in the shop It's meant to be retrievable from in the tree and the ground So yes, if you want to retrieve from the ground, you need enough tail to for you to reach the ground. I'm sorry did I miss something I feel like I'm missing something

    Let's all just be honest. We like f***ing around with rings and pulleys and slings and stuff because it's fun. Tinkering is fun. Inventing new redirects is fun. Natural redirects are easier and honestly faster. But a creative person (with the drive to invent, and create, and test, and...
