OH! Okay. I would not use it for block and tackle type of use unless maybe you were going to likely have the system smashed with the falling tree or something.
It's main use is for ADDING friction and primarily at the top of the tree.
I'll make a separate thread on the THT after the EXPO when things might calm down a little.

The THT looks like a sweet tool. I was just imagining using one. If that friction device is used as your primary rigging point up top, does the added friction on the rigging line make it kind of a Bit*h to attach the rigging line to your saddle and freely move to your next rigging location? I feel like the resistance might yank you around.

Also....I love all the videos, from the extreme to very simple with hardly any editing at all. It all floats my boat. Keep it up.

What is the main purpose behind the friction at the rigging point? Why not the frictionless block at the top and porti at the bottom like same old?

Do you use the tht and a xring redirect at the bottom I bet that could handle a bit of a load.

Anyways I'm sure this will come out when you decide, your toys just get us hyped up.

The rings and this THT just make rigging sense, blocks just multiply the forces put on your rigging points.

This is exactly why I wrote my article.(mentioned on another thread on magazines) Great questions by the way. Almost like I staged it; but I swear people that I did not.
I'm not going to explain right now. But my quote Mike just showed says why in short form.
I do not use the THT all the time. it would surely hamper climbing around a whole tree, dragging around a rigging line with lots of friction.
I do use the X-Rigging Rings pretty much close to ALL the time.

hahahaha!! That random/sudden ending caught me off guard.
