I have a large tree rigging job coming up in 9 days.... I am short on heavy rigging.
In search of a double beast ring sling,

9/16 or bigger rigging line,

X rigging rings whoopie slings or blocks,

Safeblock, loop slings, short rope or long.... Have cash or PayPal ready.
Must be ready to sell and have pictures
 
Man, just seeing this now. too bad I beat you to Tom's beast whoopie! I'd lend it to you but.. well I don't want to.

Instead, contact Gap Arb supply in PA. Have him splice you up Tom H.'s rigging beast rigging whoopie from 3/4 Tenex, 10mm and 8mm TVP prusik cordage, 1 large X rigging ring and 2x XLarge X rig rings according to this vid.
Ray runs a good shop (Josh too), and they should be able to assemble something for you. They're top notch. Tell them Sam sent you!
 
Okay thanks... when I can aquire more time n fuds I will.
At the moment bi only have 8 days left tell I head out to job n was planning on it for that..... have any gear u want to sell?
 
@Treetech It doesn't sound like you will be ready for this tree in terms of money and rigging, and it sounds like you feel pressured to be ready. A big tree is not a great place to learn how to use new kit. Is there a way you can change the timeline, or sub out to another climber? I know that takes some humbleness to do, but it may be better than being up a big tree without good options. I recently sat out a crane climb because my seat on the bus was downstairs, watching traffic and running my tracked loader on a nice lawn. You've got to fill the role that is best for the project. There are a lot of guys near you with the right kit to take on the tree, and they are familiar with their kit. You'll have your day too.
 
Yes your right in the situation.... But this is not a job I can't do.
I had made two rigging plans..... The first was shut down. Due to no access to lot next door and the second was going to involve am extra rigging point and redirect to get to a safe point to run the rigging and also pull with truck.
Without the extra rigging point it just means smaller peaces.... Or cut n chuck.

I had spoke with Tom plenty of time in advance but due do my 7yr old having cancer we were out of town and lacking funds to send him at that time.
When. I returned home and payend him it was too late he had already taken a payment from you. My understanding was he was holding for my return but .... First come first serve....so I lost....
And due to speaking with him about it I had not made any other plans to buy new n didn't look around leaving me out of time.... Yes I may reschedule if I able to find a decent block,sling, ECT and can have shipped in decent time.


Thanks

Thanks for the great info on Arial friction helping with ground nam lacking skills.
I was supper luck to have Tom H sell an AFB just after reading your suggestion.
 
It's rated at 1,000wll.
It's not going to be for my heavy rigging, I am still in need of a heavy rigging point suitable for top rigging,
Negative blocking jig wood and a speedline ... But as of suffering a large theft during witch we were 300 miles away at the children's hospital. Scum bags..... Sence the it's been very primitive and it's time to sell dad's toys and buy new tools for work ...

Anyone looking for a new usaver?
never used. I switched to SRT when I had to buy new climbing system.
 
If you're able to reschedule out a few days, talk to Gap. They have fast turn around times, even when splicing.
Put it on credit, until the job's done.
