Fo Shizll

[Boomslang]

Stumbled across a some of their videos and they had me sold, so I ordered a couple of their rigging plates from TS today. The option of having a whoopie sling without actually having a whoopie sling is great and the balancer is super slick, I'll have to make me up one of those fo shizll So many options with these plates.

The plates are available on Treestuff, the balancer is only available pre-made on their website.

The balancer is just the plate that TS sells, add a couple prussic cords and your choice of rope and you are off and shizzlin' it.

I like it vs. a whoopie/loopie, but I'll add a stopper knot for a bit of added security.

I really like the balancer but with the whoopee or whatever you wanna call it, could you see and occasion with negative rigging that a momentary slack then a shock load could cause slipping of the shizll? Also the big plate or the little for the balancer?

 

[Boomslang]

The size of the plate will depend on your rigging rope you're using as the balancer legs. The small plate is for 1/2" and the big plate is for 9/16" and 5/8"

It's possible there could be slippage, but you could always throw a stopper knot in there.

got it. Just need to hit the submit order on treestuff

Fo shizll Fo sure. Bam!!! Toughest part was trying to get the Prussic rite on the 9/16 rigging line. Didn't work so I rigged it with climbing line. Need to match rigging line with Prussic cordage them rebuild for higher weight ability but this will work for now.

Looks good - What would be your thoughts on using a blakes hitch? Only one eye for each leg on the carabiner possibly making less bulky in that area?

 

[Boomslang]

Very slick Steve!

jmcscrap. Not following. I used it yesterday and it was so simple. It was the shizzle. No pics. Don't take pics working over primaries but I will

 

[jmcscrap]

Maybe I misunderstood the post, I thought you had issues getting the hitch cord positioned - but it looks like you meant the length or diameter of the hitch cord didn't sync with the diameter of the rope used for the legs.
I was thinking of using a blakes hitch in place of the distel. I just received my Shizzle from TS - I'll rig mine up the way I see it in my head and put a picture up, easier than trying to explain....

 

[jmcscrap]

Something like this - just a demo and not what I would use in the field.

 

[Steve Connally]

Nice.

 

[Boomslang]

Yea, I don't see why a blakes wouldn't work, it's still a hitch after all

Thanks

I wonder if that loop the shizzle balancer creates would snag on other limbs/stubs on its way down....
