X-Rigging THT

theXman said:
Like...... how many ring redirects would be needed to equal a THT's friction? If that is your question, it's very complex with too many variables, such as entrance and exit angle of each ring.

but..... if I had to guess at an average number.... 4 to 5 different large (28x20) rings might equal the holding power of the THT, or 4 beast rings.

Sorry, lately I have a double beast sling as my rigging point and a single ring redirect at the base. This has reduced my porti use quite a bit and a single groundie can hold 100-200 lbs I'm guessing np. I think earlier you said the tht at the top and a single ring redirect at the bottom can hold 500 lbs.

That's what I am asking. How much you can hold with each system. Are my numbers right?

sorry if I'm dense Kevin. There are infinite systems. WHAT system do you want to know?

Tht and a single ring redirect at base.

Double beast terminal rigging point and a single ring redirectvat base.

How much can a groundie hold without a porti on those 2 systems?

Here is Pfanner man with his new THT.

Most trees in this vid were compromised. Also some lowering point locations were thin and weak (tight in the city, not many options). This is where the benefits of the THT really comes into play.

This is in New York city, Lawrence doing his weekend jobs.

music is generic copyright free music so youtube doesn't block the vid ever

 
I think a prussik holding a ring to line up with hole, probably top woulb be my choice as in closest to tail of sling..probably top then thread other two. looks like a benefit for negative rigging big wieghts and its a cool thing that's its that easy to do..add a prussik containing a ring ... For what Lawrence is showing in this vid the thing looks sweet.
