    Is a Spider Leg considered a Sling according to OSHA?

    Everything I've seen thus far (limited for sure) shows that both eyes need to be used. In the choker config shortening is easy, multiple wraps then run the standing working end through that eye. Can't say I'd ever use a clove or timber hitch on a critical rig though, for the same reasons we...

    Is a Spider Leg considered a Sling according to OSHA?

    Since 1910 (materials handling) and 1926 (construction) are the closest I found to our industry those were my first reference. I'm not into federal contracts on any level so I didn't look at that.

    Is a Spider Leg considered a Sling according to OSHA?

    Reading Gubmint standards has my eyes glazed and no closer to answers than I'd hoped. Any help shedding light on this will be be greatly appreciated. First, I need to make sure I understand what OSHA considers a sling. I'm focusing Single Leg Slings made of braided polyester rope. As I read...

    Anyone conceal carry while working?

    Gotta disagree with you bro. Slippery slope principle not only works but very efficiently. The fact that we, as a society, decided to start grabbing our ankles and telling the criminal element to, " go ahead and take it" without defending our rights is exactly why we are such a violent society...

    SOLD: Camelbak Maximum Gear Thermobak 3L / 100oz Desert Camo

    Bought a case of these a few years ago to have some spares on hand when the issued ones wore out. Thing is, the issued ones are still going strong and I see no need to keep these anymore. These are not the cheapies you see in Dick's or Gander Mountain. It is my understanding that these are...

    Dead Eye Sling Strength

    Just trying to get a handle on residual strength relationships in hollow braid spliced ropes. I know, for example, that a standard length, properly tapered bury will yield 90% or better of the original rope strength. What would happen if we were to do a full bury for the length of the sling...

    What useful things can be made with 3/8 Amsteel

    This is basically a repeat of a post over on rigging and roping but rather than uses, what can I make from the stuff. Pulled 60' of 3/8 amsteel off winch that saw virtually no use. Except for some fuzzing on the end it is otherwise in great shape. I don't want to toss it but can't figure out...
