i really like my 462 with 28“ or 24“ full skip, square filed. also the 3/4 wrap handle was cheap, i think less than 50€. the 362/400 feels like a brick but i‘ve never run the 400. 500i is annoying to start (for me).
i run my 261‘s with 16“ bar 325 full comp, they do cut well ;)
interesting, thanks. i doublewhip frequently but only when i need it to stay within WLL of slings and rope or for positioning of the piece but than it is referred to as span-rigging, i guess.
i hear you, sometimes to basal LD can be freeing..
from my couch it looks in the wll range of single leg 1/2“ rope. did you double-whip with out a lowering device? i‘m not criticizing, just interested in the reason :)
hello,
i searched the forum but couldn’t find the information..
somebody offered me a hobbs 2000 device with the straight drum and rollerbearing fairlead at the back of the drum for a good price. if i recall correctly, there where rope overlap problems with this design. or did they solve that...
there is a difference between retrievable and remotely settable. i can think of situations where a retrievable system for 3/4“ rope might come in handy. i rarely set my x-ring ringsling from the ground but often retrieve it. i spliced a ring and ring with xl ring‘s and 3/4“ rope for a terminal...
a non-clear empty washing-detergent bottle makes an excellent car-pee-bottle (for people with a penis), i‘ve used clear 1 gallon waterbottles but they start to look bad quite quickly.
i only self lower with a porty when there is no stub left (drifting larger wood into another lowering point) or when i want to lock the load off, possible with stubs but more convenient with a porty.
hello sean,
no problem to go this high/thin, no stability issues and felt very comfortable. i also tied into the maple cluster slightly overhead and to the side. good for you that you have the freedom of choice and good for me, too. :)
greetings
