DIY Pulley Cambium Saver

[The Timber Titan]

Hi guys I wanted to get your thoughts and opinions on this pulley cambium saver that I made. It isn't retrievable sadly. Because as you pull the tail of the rope the pulley twists the pulley wedges itself sideways on the Karabiner.

 

Do you guys think its a viable system to use as a cambium saver ??

 

Consists of:

13mm Rope

CT Pulley

9mm Prusik Cord

Stein Karabiner

 No not viable. Replace the karabiner with a steel pear shaped mallion that you can crank up tight then maybe

Dont know it that pulley is suitable for textiles either?

Think it'd want a spacer if used with rope.

Of course if its not retreivable half the hardware is basically redundant. You could achieve the same thing with one pulley and a suitably rated sling.

What’s the point of it if it’s not retrievable?

Im not too fussed if its not retrievable, im more after the fact of less friction in thesystem

I definitely get your point but its the fact its adjustable to suit the size of the limb in that aspect.

I get that, but there’s not much need really. If a sling is too long double wrap it. Only time I’d want to be able to adjust something precisely would be to cinch up on a spar where i wanted a retrievable anchor
