Rings or block

Z'sTrees · Aug 30, 2016

Husky is polyester cover/ nylon core like polydyne. Stablebraid is polyester cover and core.
Definitely like the 9/16". You gain alot of strength over 1/2" and the size is nice in the hands.

If you are lifting, pulling, removing slack/stretch out of the rope with out the help of serious mechanical adv use pulley/blocks. It sucks balls if you hva do the pulling through rings or thimbles

Something to be said for midline attachabilty of blocks. Also for lifting and tensioning, Blocks are the best.

These work as well as anything else I've used. Cheap too.

get 200' of true blue and take some $9 shackles and cut some short retired lines for slings and get to work.. The shackles work fine as long as you use multiple over head anchor points. Bend radius is too tight if used alone.. OBviously the system is to be used for light and medium rigging only...

I have that one and their bigger one, actually own most all of their stuff.
But I like this one because of the captive thimble for my butter/sausage and burnt finger tips

Shackles are ok, screw the pins sucks. If you have to screw links are better choice imho

I've got a lot of time running ropes through one of those, as well as the ISCs

Well ya learn something all the time....glad I sold the 5/8th husky I bought ages ago...that stretch would not have worked for what I needed it for...never knew about the nylon core...I use 5/8th for wood over objects...so need very little stretch....

Pinto rig pulleys with a steel biner? I have a couple of these I use for rigging lighter stuff all the time...work great, light, quick, inexpensive.

Kinda beastly if you ask me 8kn (1,780 lbs) ain't chump change.

Just get two RE Omni 1.5's, they can handle a ton of shit. Rings are cool too. I don't really care what I use to get the job done as long as my groundie can run rope. [emoji3]

I second Reed's vote for the Omnis. One lives on my hip most of the time. With a good 1/2in rigging line of your choice you have the Canopy down in a compact, rope friendly package. I prefer them for the midline attachment as well.

omni block on a ultrasling is what I would recommend to start. Rings are awesome and bomb proof but starting out...... a block does everything. I have a ton of rings in different configurations but I always bring a block. Always. Might not get used but it's there

I only have a few rings, I prefer mid line attachability of blocks

Your rigging always makes me happy.
I should get another true blue.

I'll cop to that.... And when the 75' ain't enough I'll set a block on a long sling in a high crotch with the pole saw, tie off where I can reach and swing some monster limbs... That's my idea of a good time!
