    Peter, He was a smart old man. It would be interesting to know what he did for a living, earlier in his life. High situational awareness. I'm betting that he worked in a trade that had a relatively high level of possible danger, so he has gotten used to being observant, which is how he's...

    I know I'm asking for a lot, but if you or someone else that is knowledgeable about this rigging setup could manage to do some kind of a crude drawing of the setup, I'd be really appreciative. Some of the terminology is unfamiliar to me, like double whip tackle, for instance, if I'm even...

    Here's a link to the mini port-a-wrap, which I own and love. http://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?item=126 I'm going to attempt to either embed video or at least attach a link here that I hope will be helpful. It has been awhile since I last tried to do this, so I'm out of practice...
