Took a picture front the bucket today of an atv. From the distance I thought was just two guys. Posted online and of coarse my girlfriend zooms in to see this lol.
You only need a porty for the bigger stuff. The Safebloc or Thundersling makes rigging more convenient on medium to s stuff because it has enough friction to not need a porty. Ariel friction takes pressure off the spar your rigging from because your not having to hold as much on the ground as...
Honestly my porty only comes out when blocking good size logs. Cut a maple log with a slight swing away from the road with the Safebloc. It was probably 14" by 6ft. It didn't have to swing far so didn't bother with porty but we tried holding it midair to test the control on the Safebloc. I got a...
The Thundersling gives more friction than the Safebloc. Lowered a 6in Dia 15ft or so limb with 3 thumbles on the Thundersling and the limb wouldn't lower without me pulling on the rope downwards. I'm still learning how to judge amount of friction. Safebloc don't have as much friction. I'd say if...
Yea I made sure to wrap from one side to the other when threading the rope. Even watched the instructional video after the job to insure I was doing it correctly. It's like the outer cover of the stable braid twists on the core of the rope. Got worst the longer I used it without straightening it...
Your welcome x man. I'd like to add for everyone a 16strand 1/2in rope works much better in the Thundersling than the softer stable braid. I find myself pulling out the Safebloc for all my work anyways its just a better design. One thing negative iv come across with the Safebloc is the Block...
With the Safebloc on two wraps pulling the rope back was easy. The weight of the rope pulled it through after 20ft of rope or so. The Thundersling was a lot harder.. but I used the Thunsersling today on some small limbs running the rope straight through the holes like its a safebloc instead of...
So after using the Thundersling yesterday and the Safebloc today the difference was crazy. The Safebloc was flawless. No rope twist what so ever. Taking 15ft pieces of the top out and 10ft 12" chunks was effortless while using two holes. I put the Thundersling to use as a redirect running...
Hey all. Nice to meet everyone. Wanted to start this post to give my review on the Thundersling vs the Safebloc. I used the Thundersling today rigging down a cottonwood tree. I liked the ability to be able to handle the lowering from above enabling my ground man to manver the load accordingly...
