Who was the fella we had on here a year or two ago who said the same thing?  Anyone remember?

It's more common than you think.

The only thing I'm unable to remember is the previous pseudonym, but to be fair it was quite a short lived and unmemorable membership the last time, quite an amateur attempt compared to some of the usernames in arbtalk infamy.

Anyway. I've not got 4 figures to drop into a GRCS, and although it's the sort of thing I'd love to own one day, as a one-man-band I doubt I'd ever use it, and there's all sorts of other toys I'm likely to spend it on first.

But I'll be getting myself a little portawrap in the new year I think, that's more my kind of size.

 

Until then, though...

 

...any tiny-size rigging to be done on a little fig.8? Better than wrapping around the trunk, right? And only snipping little bits...?

 

Any opinions welcome.

Just get a flying capstan

I know I said any opinions... but...

Fig 8 will definitely get you out of a spot and a capstan is better than trunk wraps, but a small fixed bollard is much more capable and easy to use.

Only a couple of hundred quid.

Yeah, fixed is more capable for sure, I did a good bit on a fixed bollard back when I was working for another guy, but I'm keen on the portability of a capstan. It's more in keeping with my fast-and-light ethos.

Great minds think alike. I was about to ask that. He said/implied he was doing something like royal/diplomatic sites.
