    Port a wrap sling....deadeye,ultra?8',20'?

    The best sling will vary per user how big are your trees, what is your preference, can you groundie tie reliably, etc. A dead eye sling vs a whoopie vs loopie vs ultra vs eye-2-eye vs loop slings. When they’re used properly within their swl their is no reason one is better than the other...

    Input Force Direction

    Side guide line or wedge but usually the longer and flatter the pull as long as it’s bigger and stronger than the resistance pull and weight should overcome any lean. Some times if it’s bad and I can a guide rope from either side to cradle it while pulling is a good way to go. Also a...

    Could Save My Life Some Day...

    Also I tried to dig into this to no real answers yet but tear away rings, lanyards, etc. What is a reasonable weight? I first wondered this with a chain saw lanyard the first one I was taught to make was simple 3 strand 3/8” yellow poly spliced a loop on one end to cow hitch the saw and a right...

    Could Save My Life Some Day...

    If you have a lanyard snapping in like that you’re not on a rated system anymore so it could only ever be a secondary you couldn’t climb on it as your main? On that note all parts of a climbing system must be rated for 5,000lbs mbs minimum so can that actually count as a second tie in? What...

    Limits of safe lifting?

    Those carts with no flat tires are light, cheap, easy and don’t really take up space in the chip box I’ve been a fan for years

    Limits of safe lifting?

    Cycles to failure applies to your body to. Sure you moved a couple 80 lbs bags but do that for 10 hours and you may find your night will suck. Work as hard as you have to while you work as smart as you can is what I try. If you watch the old boys that get the job done with their lower impact...

    Vaping

    Vaping in company trucks is it the same as cigarettes not allowed or is it new so it’s up to each company? How do you guys deal with it on site as well?

    Bend Right Rigging Ring

    Is that a beast Xring? Also I like that people are making these bigger, cheaper...., etc. Though Xman put out Xrings and took his time to put out educational info with them. How he mainstreamed the rings is what will keep me with Xrings. Also on another note I’ve used the beast and a double...

    Redirects

    Even if it’s not needed for strength you still use it each time? If so why? Sometimes I use it for rope management to keep less experienced guys out of the landing zone area

    Redirects

    My favourite is to get one main rigging point when possible and rig as much into that point as possible. This point is often dictated by availability of landing zone. I read on here a lot about redirects and I use them to avoid things but not as often as some people make them sound. My...

    Possible reason for the Akimbo Delay.

    Unless pulling, lifting, etc I find xrrs doing most of my rigging

    Possible reason for the Akimbo Delay.

    I run these and when it comes to shock load I bring out my xrrs. As far as swivel how much improvement do you noticeably get compared to just letting the twist of the sling,biner,block work it out?

    Possible reason for the Akimbo Delay.

    Not trying to pick apart this new pulley it looks great. But what makes it so much better and worth the extra cash over this comparable com pulley. I know they’re different but being on the cmi now and looking what’s the reason to go for this upgrade?
