    Sideloading climbing rings

    That's a really great explanation. Lots of good info so thanks for that. You mention approved and non approved. That's really the root of the issue. Especially when so many of the common uses for us fall into 'non approved' status (redirects, canopy anchors, etc) It's this gray area that I'm...

    Sideloading climbing rings

    I use the different ring sizes totally based on function. I've found a large ring just doesn't hold tension when spiked the same way a small one does.

    PPE and Safety

    That's a really great idea. Also bigger saws tend to get better respect. A little saw can much easier just feel like a toy. I really see the logic in this. ... but I'll probably go more midrange. 440 or something.

    SCAM 3:1 MA and Remotely Retrievable Redirect

    I'd try it but it's too rainy today. Haha! I expect it's like many 3:1 setups with a wrench- have to collapse the wrench to descend, works fine ascending.
