While you are in a tree getting the rig line back for more action when it swings away from you?

Have ground guy tie it to your line.
Toss/Lower a throw line/ball you would keep in a small bag.
I did buy that extendo tool from sherril. I never found it use full, quickly bent it.

Have a groundie tie it back onto my climb line. I do have one of the small yellow grapple hooks from Wesspur that has come in handy if a line swings too far out of my reach and the guys on the ground are busy. Maybe explain what you mean and in what situation?

put a carabiner around your line between the rigging point and where to attatched to the load. Attatched to the biner is a rope long enough to extend the furthest distance you anticipate the load to swing away from you. Have that loose in a crotch so that it does not catch or conflict with anything and wha lah....just pull it back to you everytime.
Cant remmeber who I learned that from but it was on here.
Good luck decoding my crytic explanation.

Exactly!
i want to avoid having my groundie tie it on my climbing line because it would be a huge hit to production. I have seen those reaching tool and they do break very easily. I also want to avoid having to resort to grabbing it with a pruner.
That trick looks very handy with the rope and carabiner, its perfect....just what i was looking for!!
Thanks

yes or you can use a fixed pulley on a biner.

Or a DMM revolver.
try the tail of your climbing line and a scaffold knot and a regular carabiner. if you need to use the haul back line as a brake use a pulley or block on the line and on a redirect beside you. just make sure your not in the line of fire , rope burn sux. i redirect my haul back tail to arms reach on sling girthed to a small caritool on my harness. i use the caritool because it will break in case the haul back line gets fouled during the rigging process.

could even use a fishing reel.
You are correct Jesse.
If you watch the video you will see that we are swinging the pieces away from the roof. I am about 25 feet away from the rigging line if it is hanging directly below the block.
Rather than putting the groundie in charge of getting me back the rigging line, I implemented this moving pulley technique that I learned from watching one of Reg's videos. This technique is great!
I diagramed it out on a piece of paper-hope it makes sense-hope you like my lack of artistic skill.
In the diagram, the leash is tied to a moveable pulley that is connected to the rigging line. Before I make the cut, the pulley is above me attached to the tensioned rigging line. The pulley is attached to a leash that it connected to a branch within my reach so I can pull the rigging line back to me after the piece has been untied from the rigging line. Does that make sense?
As the cut swings away from me the pulley allows the rigging line to run through it. As the leash comes to its end, it floats on the rigging line as the rigging line hangs directly below the block.
Hope people can follow my explanation...

A groundie tie and climber retrieve being a "huge hit" seems like a stretch.
The pulley lanyard retrieval system is a great tool in the box, but I find it hard to believe that you are constantly far enough from the rigging point to justify the technique's employ.

I agree on this....most of the time I can just whip the rope to him...takes no time at all
