It wouldn't work for me Patrick. A spliced eye on my Zing-it wouldn't pass through my battery powered throwline retreiver, max diameter for the retreiver is 2.2mm. I hate the time wasted feeding a hundred or a couple hundred feet of throwline into it's storage bag by hand, I could tie many...

I believe that's the technique in Tree Climbers Companion. I tried it but found the weight of the rope kept pulling the big ring of the FS backwards over the TIP limb when lowering the throwline/weight back to the ground. Then things really got to be a tangled mess.Also as you pull the rope up...

Since day 1 on my first climbing course about 12 yrs ago I was taught to set a 2 ring Buckingham friction saver. I still today use my 12 yr old 4' steel ring and 6' aluminum savers. I can't wear them out and have only gone through 3 Samson 13mm bluestreak ropes. I don't like change and still use...
