Compact Bulldog Bone

Another difference is that the Bone has no spring to cause it to engage, instead as it is weighted, the spine tips causing the upper arm to engage the rope.

The release is unique as well, although I have never had a chance to try the Roperunner, but as the upper arm is squeezed down it seeks to force a bend in the rope, which is opposed by the weight on the line.
 
One thing to watch out for on the bone, and I'm sure the runner too, is when you're spiking up a spar and flipping your lanyard, your climbing line will get slack for a moment, and when you lean in to grab your lanyard you can get smacked in the face by the bone. Sounds dirty doesn't it :chica:
 
Damn.. bone to the face ..that's horrifying!:cry:
Glad your secure enough to share your experience...did it feel like :cachetada:or:muyenojado:did you go home and :risas:about it .
 
Flew the bone on wet rope yesterday ..windy as Wyoming today ..I absolutely love this thing .performs perfectly under pressure ...get it .feels so gosh damn good in my hand ..I don't wanna take my hand off my bone ! And I'm careful to keep my bone from smacking me in the face thanks to wise words of TreeLogic.
 
My one thing that wigged me out for a while when I first started SRWP was the thought of being tied in with my lanyard to thin wood while disconnecting from my main line when redirecting. What I figured out early on is to quick tie a butterfly above the bone and connect my bridge to that knot with a carabiner (nowadays, I prefer a thimble loop instead of the butterfly because I often want to maintain tension on the mainline). Once that's all set, you can easily have slack in the line where the Bone is for super easy removal and reinstallation after relocating/retrieving my tail. When my mainline is back on the bridge, the butterfly pops out, remove all slack and off you go. I'll never risk getting my multi-scender stuck in a union or hesitate to remove it from the line again. How can anything be this easy?!
 
Do you intend to put this in to full production? I really hope so. Just curious, in it's current configuration, how quickly can you turn them out if you decided that it's current design doesn't need any more tinkering/revising?
 
I currently have most of the parts for 20 left. make that 18....16....14....12
