    The Invention Barn

    Hey what about these: https://www.afxuk.com/downloads/Somersault-harness.pdf There's a more simple version which doesn't require the fancy attachment if you're not doing flips. I believe these are used with tandem lines all the way to the anchor or whatever, but you could just as easily connect...

    The Invention Barn

    No I just meant if you went as far as making a framework gimbal, pivoting around your D's, you'd have a framework you're hauling around. Still golden in front of you, but in your sides not so much.

    The Invention Barn

    You could take it a step further and set up like being in a gimbal the way those Arial acrobat type performers use. Might get a little bulky though

    Combining ropes in SRT

    Will definitely give that a try. My setup has so much sitback, and I can't believe it, but I have yet to do any real climbing on my new treemotion... So the sit part previously has been miserable. I try to get on a limb asap when hanging in a rock harness!

    Book: TCIA Best Practices for Rigging

    Sadly no, only in the last 10 years have telemarketers stopped asking me if they were speaking to the lady of the house... And that's probably because I cancelled our land line.

    Throwline Cube

    Am I thinking of the wrong thing? Aren't those cubes like glorified laundry hampers?

    Book: TCIA Best Practices for Rigging

    I can be very descriptive. I'll do that whisper ASMR thing all the YouTube people are doing. "Ok so then there's a guy and he's on spikes probably, and he's kinda got one rope wrapped around his waist maybe? And he's got this other rope, or maybe it's a sling... No there's a knot, it's...

    Throwline Cube

    Step 1: hold it out in front of you Step 2: collapse it diagonally so it flattens Step 3: fold it in half Step 4: hold it in front of you so it's square/rectangle, with one hand on either side, roughly in the center. Step 5: start to fold it like a taco Step 6: wad it up and shove it in the...

    Combining ropes in SRT

    Do you just set up with a hitch and tender and footlock on up? That's basically what I do on MRS but it wears me out as I'm not in the best shape of my life... I guess I'd get there twice as fast, but I'd be lifting twice the weight so I'm not sure what's better.

    Combining ropes in SRT

    @Treetopflyer and @JTree, hauling multiples up makes sense, and just leave the anchor tied - thanks for the idea! @treebing I'll definitely give the vortex a try, I'd just heard big stuff doesn't run well and I thought it seems like toothed ascenders would be hard on it with it being so soft...

    Combining ropes in SRT

    I've seen a few posts searching the forums that touch on this, but I wanted to see if I could get the brain trust to gather thoughts on the topic. Obviously with DRT/MRS, it's necessary to have a single piece of rope to run through the system, but is it necessary on SRT/SRS? I'm looking into...

    Rope Wrench - Hitch/Rope compendium.

    Sorry guys, I have bad news... @Brocky has been reported missing, this might be his last post. Police reports say it looks like he left in a hurry, but had time to type a note that reads: "Dear arborists, I was wrong. Simple and inexpensive are just pipedreams. Keep buying pulleys... The...

    Brand New Rope Wrench and Used Shorty Tether - SOLD

    Mahalo! I'll get that sent right away. I only visited the big island once, don't remember a lot. I lived on Oahu when I was young, and visited again as an adult. I lived near the ocean nearly my whole life until my last move, and I miss it. I've come to like where we live now, but my wife and...
