Good spot, 2 of them should suffice for a starter kit i would have thought?? one for pullet then one for the base of the tree on the friction device??

 

 

ahhhhh 5/8 16mm hmmmmmm

 

was going to use the stein rc2000 friction device and medium cast pulley.... obv not knocking massive lumps out but would the 19mm be better......

what size is your lowering rope?

[swinny]

most likely going to get a 14mm so a 5/8 dead eye will be ok

i use a 7-8m 16mm double esterlon dead eye on the rc 2000 and either a 19mm esterlon dead eye or a 19mm samson tenex loopie on the block you need a bigger dead eye at the top anchor as it's taking twice the strain of the bottom anchor.
