Or in other words, the rib buster.

skimmed it. I like the idea. Maybe a cable to reduce recoil in place of the rope?

Simple and light in the back-country. Multipurpose cable/ rope.

I can't think of any uses I'll use this regularly, but it's interesting and good info to have regardless.

Fun vid to watch, i love Dave Canterbury's vids, hes a very knowledgeable guy.

Def not practical for tree work, but i can already see myself using this when my buddies and i go out bushcampin for a few days. We camp very low key, taking/using as little modern stuff as possible, so this could come in handy.
