Rigging Friction Saver 2

Re: Rigging False Crotch

I knew I was going to get it with the semantics thing there.

Sure it's "static." I think if the adjustable (floating) side is tied off stationary to something, then it is now "static" because it cannot move when logs are being rigged out.

Right?

I was merely suggesting an alternative to a rigging false crotch.

And as usual... Not every technique is "bomber" for all situations. If anyone were to use the technique I suggested... Then, please... determine the approximate weight of your log and multiply that by 4. Look at your rigging point in the tree and ask yourself, "Will that hold?"

FTR. I have never had a rigging point blow out and I use this technique often.

Re: Rigging False Crotch

Not wishing to suggest something known to be a dumb idea but what about something like the attached diagram?

Edit-
(And yes, after you hooked it you'd have to walk around the pulley a few times and then tie the small line off, to secure it.)
