Passive Rigging Line Retrieval Reel

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Mine is a modified Spencer Logging Tape with nylon twine rather than tape.

It clips to my saddle, allowing me to self retrieve either a fixed point lowering line, or speedline from over 50 feet away from the line's COG or anchor.

It's the blue self retracting thing clipped to my old ragged saddle, with the round plastic shower curtain hanger that attaches to your lowering/speedline rope.

I apologize for not editing and posting vids of this modified logging tape in action yet, sheer laziness about firing up the old PC and transferring SD card footage. The footage not being that great doesn't help matters.

Besides, I'm waiting for one of you young super climbers to make me look old and pitiful by getting some good kick butt footage posted first!

What's the yellow tape used for? Looks like a carabiner is attached to it. I is it a lanyard?
 
It's a POS weak springed version of a prototype self retracting lanyard.

Nothing but eye candy cuz it didn't work well at all.

I need a monster spring in a small package.

Buy American, though in the case of Spencer Logging Tapes, I believe they're actually manufactured in Canada. Which is cool considering their standards for workers exceed our own.

I guarantee you that with proper care a modified Spencer Tape will outlast and out perform any Walmart wannabes!

They may have designed their reel in Texas, but I seriously doubt they manufacture them in the USA.

Of course I'd love to be proven wrong bout that....
