DRT with the hitch hiker.

Rigging using 2 XRR rig-saver

Very nice, Nick right? Are you just using the sling in crotches? I like the idea, and I've been following your threads building it, I like the versatility of something that can be used without a crotch. Do you think it would work to double wrap a longer version like with a climbing ring and ring FS?

 

[bonner1040]

Thanks Evan. Sure that would work, you just need to make sure it didnt come undone as the rope worked its way around, up and down etc. It would be when the tension came off you would have to watch it.

Or you could build something like this:

I like the idea but I like mine because it is smaller, although I may rebuild mine at 4-4.5' I am not sure yet.

I like that too. Much more precise, though I would think you wanna watch that too. Where do I get the codura sleaves?

Slick setup

Is that one the one you used in the video? That is sweet!

 

[bonner1040]

I didn't make that. Its a picture I found on Facebook.

The cordura is on treestuff

Thanks, I really like that prussic with the rings on each end. that's pretty slick. Do they sell those? How much of a load do you think that would take before the prussic would slip?

 

[bonner1040]

I have a U saver I use for rigging and its never slipped... even negative blocking logs.

again though, that isnt my build. I dont want to take credit!

 

[Bixler]
