Balancing Rigging Strop

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

People talk of gear not being able to do serious work, but most gear is designed for an idiot to use, and shock loading is expected rather than avoided! most gear is way overrated if used sensibly and with thought.

The rope spider has a maximum rope diameter of 13mm. I like the idea, watch the video it's interesting.

13 mm so 14 mm double esterlon/polydine would just about go through. 14mm polydine is rated at what? 5600kg?

 

I like these spider gear ones too, can see they would be useful in specific cases and will be having a couple. more than man enough for the way we work. we dont do silly macho lumps.

I remember reading somewhere about using a couple of rigging strops with prussics for balancing limbs when rigging. has anyone got a picture or has anyone spliced one up?

i bought 10 metres of EB braids 12mm from treeworker at the arbshow to splice but can't get my head around it now!

I like that set up except for the second tail being a PITA when not required, otherwise a fab setup.

 

sometimes I like to rig of 2-3-4 bits at a time, say small bits on fine reductions with no room to drop over green houses that second tail would then be a god send.

 

this threads defo given me some food for thought so thanks all.
