Rope Knight Throw weight

Try this!:001_smile:

 

<=> Hard anodized ali, optimal geometric shape/form and near frictionless finish all work together to help prevent a tree or tree part failure when isolating the TIP, retrieving the RK and positioning the access rope.

 

When it is necessary to pull a device around, up and down and every which way in a crown quickly, smooth and easy.

 

Which would you choose a soft malleable, material bag with a ring, a ball and ring or RK.

We choose the Rk with its double ended smooth raduised frictionless cone with no ring that decouples to reveal a hollow body that effectively smoothes over the transition from throwlines to access ropes upto 23mm.

with a total of 6 tools in one.

 

Any situation where the tree or tree parts(deadwood, hangers etc) has high potential for failure and any shaking, wiggling etc of said tree and tree parts could cause harm. Being able to secure the tree or tree parts with ropes and effectively do this without shaking or wiggling something loose.

 

The picture is of a Gleditsia that failed in a Backyard and any shaking or the accumulative effect of shaking of the tree prior to the install of securing ropes may have damaged a pretty cool landscape and pond with fish.

 

Tried my best to be clear and concise.

Let me know if this works for you>:001_smile:

How about when you climb up the rope and shake the tree.... does that scare the fishes too? or are they warm up to you bit by then.

There is one other point that helps extend throw line life.

 

One question I forgot to ask, how does a Ropeknight extend throw line life?

 

Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

 

RopeKnight and RopeShield extends throw line life with the

A. the small frictionless, radiused and hard anodized aluminum nose cone When pulling on lines to retrieve, isolate Tips and position ropes RopeArmor creates a safer, faster, smoother and easier throw line handling experience requiring less force

 

If you want to reduce the cycles to failure on your throw lines and stop having to repair/knot them because the lines get tired and they just continue to snap over and over. RopeKnight is guaranteed to make your lines last longer. Guaranteed improved performance over traditional throw balls extends throw line life.

 

B. Also RopeKnight has the ability for a knotless connection housed within the device. No Knots means more working strength and longer throw line life.

 

How many of us use throwlines to pull hangers, dead wood or in felling trees? It is far better feeling to know your line has acceptable working strength than to trust something that has been yanked on over and over, full of knots and wear.

It is about maintaining throw line strength as well as reducing the wear and tear.

 

RA. Add it up!

Cheers

I will say that I use the Harrison rockets and other beanie bags and I did the math and I have spent quite a bit on bags. I have sprayed quite a bit of lead over peoples backyards in my throw-bag career even from the HRs. I dont think the expense of the Rope Knight should be an issue. As long as you dont lose it. dont know how many 12 dollar throwbags I have lost over the years. I will have to revisit it using the screwlink basket throw. That was definitly the area I had the most difficulty as well as quickly untying and retying as I dont like crash any throw weight to the ground but rather untying them and only pulling the string back through after a miss. Thanks Thomas. Especially for the rope shield which has gotten my rope through some tough tight crotches.

 

Thanks Kevin... not only for this endorsement but also for your Singing Tree Rope Wrench. It to has paid for itself many times over, in dollars and by creating a more varied, enjoyable and effecient climb experience.:thumbup:

 

Cheers

i havent had the device long enough to make up my mind yet, im having to relearn to throw as i cant really get on with throwing one handed and i dont get on with the "long gun" technique. i will however attest to how well the rope shield works at getting rope into and past tight crotches.

and yeah DAK, we will have it to use in Africa my friend :)

 

Hey Drew

How you doin!:questionmark:
