another ring thing

[DrewB]

lowering some pieces the other day and used this-mainly because i had no slings and couldnt be bothered tying knots over and over again. It doesnt choke the branch brilliantly but worked well with a half hitch before it and was quick to setup every time.Maybe pointless but served a purpose:001_smile:

funny guy! Why not just put splice through the bigger splice or ring? choked and no knots? or am i missing something here?

if 'ya choked it you'd have to thread the whole rope through every time bro. i was just trying to save a bit of time setting up and also for the groundie to undo every time.

whats wrong with a biner on a bowline? (half hitch if it's big wood) you've just made things way more complicated than they need be... friggin arborists lol

slings are the right way about it for sure, if time is money then slings are money makers!!! they're also the safest for awkward cut and holds (or big ones lol as much as your shoulder or anchor can take)

I love slings!!! cant understand why so many climbers prefer ropes and tie knots, if anyone wants to enlighten me in it not just being podantic and time wasting? p.s. i always load my biners the right way i.e. gate facing out, half hitch on big wood and pull to bite in the correct spot, so tell me how or why a knot would be better, im open minded lol
