Compact Bulldog Bone

gmcttr · Nov 21, 2014

I planned to climb with my HH today just to enjoy the incomparable ease of true 'two finger on the hitch' descents it provides.

Pulled a rope into the tree, put on my Onyx, looked at the HH and BDB laying there, thought about getting the HH rigged in the cold and wind, grabbed the BDB and climbed. Had a great time.

My HH is getting lonely. :sisi:

I hear ya big daddy. And I know 45' aint nothing. Could've done it much faster - still dialing in. But straight up a rope DdRT it's a workout. So, in comparison, you get the picture.

But you said it Wraptor Man, 2500 freaking bucks! Compared to $200? Tell ya what, talk to my wife and help me convince her.
.

You didn't tell the wife that the Bull Dog Bone will help ole TL get up the tree did ya? :inocente:

I think I know where you're going with this. With 3 kids, no I'm scared of that thing now.

But only cause 3 is enough...not for any other reasons.
Maybe I need to go visit the doc and get something that's guaranteed.

Or maybe no hidden meaning to your post?

If that's the case, yes I told the wife that I'd be able to climb longer and probably live longer because of this thing. She said, "Send it back."

I don't know, but based on the look in Mike's helpers eye, in Mike's video about the ash take down, Bulldog Boners seems right.

Bones Brigade, or Bone Brigade.

True, it's already been taken by skateboarders in the 80's, but it's such a great combo IMO.

Maybe Tom could make a sub forum called "the Kennel"

Same here. For all this DRT business I'm hearing about. Plus I need more than one to hang on the Christmas tree.

I usually dont advocate dog fights ,but Dueling Bulldogs would be awesome to see first hand.
I've never climbed on anything but a hitch my whole life ,so I equiv a late the bulldog bone to to what I imagine as the spidrjack of SRT ..any thoughts from any body who's climbed on both ?

Fishermans loop thru the biner attachment. Cord is pretty rigid and stays accessible all the time. The knot gets in the way of the bottom clip opening all the way. But it is workable.
