I may be officially chasing my tail now, though--in order of general awesomeness/best value/most room to grow--I feel like the current standings are: Top #1 ABR RIG AND RING LARGE: http://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?item=9012 #2 ISC 1/2" MINI ALUMINUM RIGGING BLOCK...

Thanks, guys. 5/8ths it is!

Alright, wise ones, I'm getting the sense that lots of folks feel the basic CMI blocks are a good value that are nearly impossible to outgrow. Trouble is, I'm not sure which of these two would be best: 3/4", 25K MBS, 3.65#, 6.5" x 4", $95...

Thanks, guys. I was aware of this, but I appreciate the color-coding/non-engraving advice! :thumbup:

You guys are awesome! :thumbup:

"Marls"? Sorry...:? When (at what weight) do you think you should go to the loop runner, Stephen? You were taking some big hunks down without it... (This is a pretty silly question to ask, as my "limb weight estimation" skills are no doubt crap!) AMEN! :thumbup:

Great list, Joel. On the Pinto, I read the following in the reviews: "A better choice...would be to purchase this loopie with the Rock Exotica block which has a swivel side plate for quick and easy rope management." (i.e, the RE block is mid-line attachable) "...this tool should not be used...

Thanks, Grif. Super helpful. Lots of folks seem VERY happy with the ISC spring pin blocks... Thanks, Stephen. I've heard great things about both the 2.2# 5/8ths block from CMI AND the Pinto Pulley you mention. Lots of great tips here, Sean. Thanks. High anchor at first. Glad you're safe...

Not just you, me too, Nick! I completely agree. I'm trying to gain an understanding of simple rigging through 1) reading the main instructional texts in the industry, 2) watching videos of people who know what they are doing, 3) picking the brains of the folks at TreeStuff every time I walk...

Thanks a ton, guys. Please keep the suggestions coming!

X-rigging rings look pretty great, Peter. I don't follow you here, though. Do the XRRs make large loads easier on the groundie than a POW & block? How?

Hi, all: As predicted, ;) I'm looking for advice on how to spend the first dollars on rigging gear, after the stuff I already have: a Maasdam puller 6’ Tuflex round sling LINK 150' of 1/2" Samson Pro-Master 3-strand These have been super helpful for felling a ton of diseased beech at my...
