New kid on the GRCS block.
Looking for help with production advice. Maybe there is already a good thread. Can anyone point me there?
I understand the mechanics of it the device, and know to fairlead into it vertically.
When do you use the bollard and when the winch? Can a Simple 3:1 work with that bollard for light pretensioning?
How is it to bomb onto the strap with no visor plate?
Rope wraps jumping onto itself sounds like an issue at times. Prevention tips? De-SNAFUing tips? Is it an issue of 'snubbing' off the rope on impact, or a problem while lowering long distances, or...?
I have 5/8" Stable Braid. Thinking going for the greatest capacity and getting a 3/4" rope. Stable Braid? Other suggestions? I'm going to need to look into Puget Sound Rope http://www.cortlandcompany.com/puget-sound-rope, which Roger Barnett has bought from.
No specific questions exactly. Just discussion.
BTW, I have two large and medium dead alders that I want to hang whole, or tip over whole to lower into an available landing zone. Beyond that , it just looking for general info, and valuable experience.
