I lost the first pin I made. So the second generation pin got a tether. I always position the last cross on the VT between the RR tether and the rope ( bottom pic ) It keeps from wearing on the tether, and in my case saves allot of electrical tape . Also It seems to slack tend better because the...
I made a clevis to fit the top hole in the HC with a removable pin. Then used some hollow braid like amsteel or Tenex scraps, spliced then sewn together, add some heat shrink tubing and tape. Its very rigid but still flexible enough to bend around when needed which is really important. Nice...
"Yup, 13mm 16 strand BRW works fine."
That is great to hear, cant wait to get my hands on one. There are worse things to collect than shiny new SRT devises!
I use these on occasion for longer shots. Just some aluminum turned down to fit in a pneumatic launcher . the "O" ring makes a big difference and will easily shoot over 200ft with 115 psi. I haven't done any real max distance tests with it but the first time I tried it I sent the weight with 200...
I was running the spiderjack a couple of years ago before getting into SRT and almost had myself convinced I needed one. Glad I didn't pull the trigger because it would be collecting dust right now.I Got a Rope wrench,a foot ascender and ditched the SJ for my old HC setup. Sorry not the answer...
Damn it, I mist the video! please add in some extra long rants and more curse words for me in the next one, that would be great! As far as the one handed issue; I know people that scare the shit out of me with both hands on the saw.
Arbormaster rope seems to work better in the pitch for me. The rough 16 strand surface, the pitch seems to get pushed into the valley of the braids ? I also use large diameter hitch cord(10mm). But I am also using it with the Rope Wrench. I don't know if it will help any with the HH-2 , most of...
If you can't isolate a TIP and no one is around to untie your base anchor you can midline in a pulley or use a cammed ascender with a quick link or a roller carabiner to give you 3:1, even easier than ddrt. You can move the cammed ascender around with you. If you Tip tie a pulley make sure the...
Depending on what position the rope wrench is in when the ZZ engages it could see up to the full weight of the climber. With a hitch that would not be an issue as far as life support is concerned but does account for an occasional hard release.
Yep, its my favorite device. Well.. actually my favorite device is whatever I am climbing on at that moment. Guess I just like being in trees, To bad most of the time its to cut them down.
