Concerning lanyard spaghetti.
The truth is, it's only maybe two-three times a month! that I really need ALL my super long complicated lanyard, so most of the time between half and three quarters of the thing is dead weight! However. Most of the time I am working with inexperienced ground crew or solo, so though I keep things as minimalist as I can, I like to keep as many bases covered as possible. So, my stupid long complicated lanyard/mini-second-climbing-line stays top of the bag!
...yet. I am irked by the dead weight & tangles for the rest of the time, so, anyone tried this configuration as a way of pulling up some of that slack and putting it to good use?
...Effectively a dddrt lanyard! The draw backs that I can see straight off the bat are:
first, I would be doubling the friction around the back of the limb. Second, it's impossible to convert to using the full length lanyard without unclipping and resetting.
Benefits:
first, 2to1 advantage on the lanyard!...(not sure how that works when combined with the doubled bark friction??...)
Second, spreading the lines across the back of the limb would add stability.
Third, more stuff on the hip to be re-appropriated for other functions (as needed)
Fourth: full(single) line length there when needed.
Fifth and final: security...
I think I'll give it a try!
(Roll'n'lock is for demonstration purposes. Seems I've lost another pinto!
