I've been dabbling in aerial friction. Started with small porty. Bought an AFB. Now I'm thinking about the Safebloc. Which sling do you prefer for ease and quickness of installing these to the the tree?
I think a safebloc would pass through. Call and ask the splicing guys at TS or ST but I think it's possible. The ultra sling can be spliced however you need it configured
Whoopie sling seems faster than a loopie. But when I sling, I am faster with a dead eye. I just tie it faster with a timber hitch. When you go to cow hitch, they are about the same time setting. Resetting the block is fastest with a timber, then either the whoopie or loopie. Cow hitch slow.
Everything has a plus and minus side.
I've made myself a whole bunch of loopies and woopies, various sizes. I have since gone back to dead eye sling for time saving. My rigging points usually move too often for my liking, and usually is on the 12" and under diameters. Chunking bigger than that a loopie is my choice.
