    light rigging with ring and "figure 8" aka "rescue 8"

    correct, it's almost impossible go pull the rope back up without unlocking the figure8. Having the ring connected next to it is quick and easy. downside is you have to be next to the rigging point to reach it.

    friction: on the load leg of rigging rope, pass bight through large figure8 hole and around the horn.

    light rigging with ring and "figure 8" aka "rescue 8"

    meant to mention: rigging rope pressure from ground causes the ring to squeeze onto the figure8, kind of dynamic mechanical friction. I think you can add more friction too.

    light rigging with ring and "figure 8" aka "rescue 8"

    haven't seen this previously. orientation seems to matter. figure8 on sling first, then ring, rigging rope from groundee through outside of ring, rigging rope to cut piece between ring and figure8. add an expected wrap through figure8 to add canopy friction. un flook the rope off the figure8 to...

    Go to canopy anchor?

    check to see if a carabiner fits through the ring. since it is required to back up any knot block system with a carabiner, this will double ensure you are safe

    vertical speedline size/weight limits

    finished the job today. i was too stressed out about the vsl at this scale and with the twisted trunk angles. just decided to send it. had the pull line choked at 200 because that is how long my climb line is. descended down to customer indications guessing about 70', and made the one cut, about...

    ftc spurs

    wondering anyone has experience with these spurs. The model with the snowboard straps is interesting. But the grips looks interesting.

    vertical speedline size/weight limits

    for smoothness and less shockload, slack or no slack on the speedline? should we get it banjo tight or leave loose slack in it?

    vertical speedline size/weight limits

    I appreciate that. sometimes overthinking it wastes so much time and if you'd just got to it, it'd be done by now. that is an option for sure.

    vertical speedline size/weight limits

    we can block the road indefinitely. i need to clear out the understory to get sightline from the road to the top of tree. There is a good conifer to place a redirect so i think the pull at the height will be adequate. I'm going to be using the winch so open line of sight is needed. i could...

    vertical speedline size/weight limits

    thank you, this is what i came for. I was off for a long 4th w/e and another climber spent the day limbing up to 100' or so. fought it the whole day and went home exhausted. I'm on it tomorrow and get this thing all down on the ground. I appreciate the insight esp the vectors clarification. very...

    vertical speedline size/weight limits

    the risk of hangers is a primary concern, both the safety factor and not wanting to waste resources fighting them. not looking forward to that
