Compact Bulldog Bone

Must be a very secure feeling to be on two ropes. Do you use a lanyard also with this setup?

I even have a double lanyard,haha. Stows oh so tidy one side on lower rings on saddle one on side rings. Been like that for years. Definitely love having diverse anchoring options for the work in the tree. The dual line climbing is amazing especially on your bulldogs is a severe game changer when addressing certain situations. They are a treat as how they un load reload line so quickly.The tending even with two is still amazing as with one once Dailed in..forwarding a line through a natural redirect with throw weight or monkey fist is the epitome of Speeding up redirect time through fluidity all the while still tied in always once, usually twice throughout climb is great peace of mind as long as both lines aren't anchored through a weak anchor point. ;)
Thanks again Gordon for this game changing tool! I really cannot thank you enough!:numberone:bulldoggboner#
 
@surveyor; If you were going to give someone advice on purchasing a new Compact Bulldog Bone, and this customer wanted the configuration that you consider to be the very best possible, what would it be? The Adjustable Compact Bulldog Bone with nano swivels? Are there any other options available that you think make it the very best it can be?

When I buy, I'd like to do it once, and do it right. Thanks for any answers you choose to provide.

@Treetopflyer, please feel free to chime in with your feelings on this question, also. Is the configuration you are currently running exactly what you would want, or are there some small tweaks or changes you would make to your setup, if you could? Thank you in advance for your answers, also.

Folks, this has probably been mentioned long before the 208th page, but how does the BDB fair on 11mil HTP? If i were to need to bomb down or just bomb down (not on a regular basis of course) would I come to a rather sliding stop or a abrupt one? I am roughly 180# with a saw and all my kit. maybe 170 if i don't eat breakfast

Get the adjustable BDB and you can play with the adjustment to get it to react to the rope you are using the way you want it to. I would set it to stop dead when I let go by slowly releasing it you can slow down before coming to a screeching halt! It is by far the best device I own!! Thanks to @surveyor
PM him and he will hook you up!

Yea I'm looking for the same information . I'm 185 breakfast or not and 11 mil htp is my favorite srt rope. Through all the threads I've read about mechanicals and htp it seems that 170 is the max ppl have had success on. Maybe this adjustable bollard is the ticket but I've always been weary of its performance with mechanicals. Km max and escalator would be the ropes I ve been told would be more successful for someone a bit heavier.
 
@John_KAYS; Thanks for that assessment. It's nice to know that it's so rugged. It does make it harder for me to keep my money in my wallet, even though it has been quite some time since my last climb.

Thanks again.

Tim I dunno how I missed this post my bad Budd! Got roped in with a bulldog commercial! I would say it can be preferential based on how the climber climbs and thinks and values. The swivel is nice not needed..after trying many variations and variables I will say the bungee tether is the best though! B)
 
The adjustable top arm BDB just luuuvs 10mm Sirius Reep Schnur. When I need a long lanyard for precise positioning it is the bomb.

I prefer to have a swivel on my bridge, that way one swivel is available for whatever device or system I'm climbing on.

Interesting...I am just the opposite. I like the swivel on the bone, as sometimes I like the plan ol' ring on my treemotion for example when using the RW.
 
I am always surprised to hear that the Bone works for some on 10mm. I think if it works for some on the 10mm Reep Schnur, then it would likely work for them on the 10mm beeline also.

You may be telling me something here that I was unaware of previously. I thought beeline was just used as a hitch cord. I did not realize that it might also be used as a climbing rope. Unless someone went and created a separate item and called it by the same name?

Thanks in advance for any clarity you can provide on this. Also, I'm glad to hear so many people are so happy with your invention.
