before i buy a new one (haven't really got the money tbh), has anyone got a spare one going?

thanks

No such thing as a spare ropeguide! I've got 2 and use both and would happily have another.

scrooges

[alex_m]

ok, failing that, where is the cheapest to buy new?

[Rupe]

Have you thought about making one?

[alex_m]

Have you thought about making one?

 

yes, after being inspired by drewb's creation.

after time spent making it and materials im guessing it will be nearly as costly.

[Rupe]

Yes, nearly. You don't need to do one as good as drews. You don't have to splice anything either. All you want is a pulley up the tree to run your rope through. That can be done very cheaply i.e the cost of the pulley only, and any rated pulley will do. The petzl fixe would work fine. Tie it onto a prussik loop, then tie the prussik on another bit of ropewith a big bowline at one end with hose pipe on it to keep it open. Then you need a retriever on the other end.

 

HAve you got any spare pulleys already?

[alex_m]

good idea! i have got a spare pulley. ive got a spare bit of rope aswell.

 

it'll give me something to do at christmas when the relatives are over
