Is there any reason why I can't use a Whoopie sling as a cambium saver

[Arghshh]

As per the title really, seems to me that a whoopie sling would make a decent cambium saver and/or anchor point by chocking it around a crotch or round a stem and running a crab for your rope to slide thorough, possibly even a mini pully on that crab. It is adjustable in length so more versatile.

 

I'm wanting to make an anchor point in a nastily pollarded willow where there is nothing substantial to anchor to other than one of the 3 main 'stubs' that have tons of regrowth coming out of.

 

Good idea or bad idea?

[softbankhawks]

Good idea, a loopie is even better!

[Arghshh]

Aye but I can get Yale Whoopies for £25, never seen a Loopie for sale in me local arb supplier. I take it you just choke the Loopie like a webbing sling with a girth hitch?

[softbankhawks]

Yes.

Buy a length and splice your own?

[Arghshh]

Yea I was contemplating it!

What if you need to use woopie and a cambium saver at the same time.Then your nackard

 

Just spend the £30 save your self the agro

Nice idea but cambium can be reteaved from the deck simply

[softbankhawks]

Mr arghshh wants to choke on to a stem. A cambium saver doesn't fulfill this requirement.

What situation could I find myself in where a whoopie with a crab through it couldn't perform the same task as a saver?

Your using the device for something its not intended to.

 

Cambium saver is made for this job in hand.

 

Its like using a pole pruner for sending up a truck on the ground.There's always something made to do the job in hand
