Unicender, HH2 (Hitch Hiker) or Rope Wrench?

[Dave Rohach]

Wait, wtf is a RR hump?

It's called a RopeRunner Baby Bump @ treestuffdotcom. It takes the place of the backplate and has a curve in it instead of being flat. They give your rope more surface friction.. check it out, some folks really like them, I've never tried it out but I'm giving it some thought for certain ropes.

I know about the baby bumps. I was just wondering because I'd never heard it called a hump.

Potatoe, Patatoe same thing. Unless you machined your own in a secret lab in area 51.

I too was/am confused by @yoyoman's comment, "Of course not, love you and all tree peoples. Just pointing out there is a Drum and there is a Barrel just like a RR Hump and a Baby Bump. Easily confused."

Sounds like the Hump and the Bump are too different things.

 

[monkeylove]

The Drum is SRT & DDRT, the Barrel is SRT only since it gets installed into the upper hole where you attach for moving rope techniques. Assuming we are talking about Morgan's invention and not a clone of Richards drum.

The hump and the bump are the same thing, think pregnant girl. Sometimes the baby is high, sometimes it is sitting low. No matter how you look at her she is still pregnant.

Hahahaha, my bad guys. Cannot go Wrong with the BDB.

 

[Scottyrunner100]

Until the production Akimbo and/or Rope Runner 2 is released I'm all in with the Compact Bulldog Bone. Quick on and off the rope, smooth operation, SRT or DdRT functionality, all good. ZK-2 Rope Wrench is next on my favorite list with Rope Runner third. Runner is great, just too many parts/drop potential when you're taking it on/off rope up in a tree.

Is that the Adjustable BDB AJ?

Is that the Adjustable BDB AJ?

I went with the nonadjustable option, 3 different size bollards can be installed for different ropes. I'm optimizing for Tachyon ropes so adjustment is not an issue, theoretically ;-)

[moss]

If it turns out I want the bird adjustment I can upgrade, the top arm/bird is the same for either version.

 

[monkeylove]

Both mine are the non adjustable and they love the Yale 11.7

 

[TimBr]

@monkeylove; Thanks for that opinion. Believe it or not, I have not yet tried any of the Yale 11.7 ropes, at all. It and Donaghys Cougar ropes seem to be the top picks that I've seen expressed. I'd like to try the Cougar, too, before it disappears.

I run on Vortex too when I'm feeling old.

Break pads

One of aluminum one of wood.
Created before any others from my discovery that adding friction here made the bird smoother.

Oh Wow! I can see your face in the wooden bump! [emoji1374] Praise Ye Richard! [emoji12]

Damn I'm ugly.

 

[Dave Rohach]

I could have done the whole, Jesus Christ thing! Would that have been unbiased?

 

[TJG]

You will Love it! [emoji7], just read the instructions, which I'm sure @surveyor has been explicit about! Enjoy it and as always Climb Safe and take it slow until you know what the BDBone can actually do! It's amazing! Best of times, with it.
