What’s with the ring/block setup though? It love like the rigging line is going through both? 

I store my rigging rope pre threaded with a big pulley and a big ring in that order (on separate deadeyes). Someone on the ground then only has to find and tie on the bundle of stuff from one bag when you ask for it, not look around for separate bits. There’s no threading or dropping anything in the tree because everything’s already set up. If the main rigging point pulley is enough, the ring just sits with it, similar to bigtreedon’s picture. If you need a redirect, the ring is ready to take with you. The obvious extension is a ring/pulley in the bundle before the main pulley for a predirect but it adds more mess than convenience. Thread a ring on from the bottom or attach a pulley/biner midline if you need a predirect.

It do go through both why not ?

I didn’t say not to, I was just curious why? Seems extra hassle to pull up and tie off a block that isn’t getting used, and I wondered if it was liable to be damaged by the ring resting against it. 

Or do you have both so that you can loosen off the ring and use the pulley for winching, or something along those lines?

I set it up like that in that scenario because it helps slow the speed of the rope returning back up to the pulley incase of any mistake buy the ground man pulling the rope up to the main anchor when I am out on a limb or far away it ! I also like how the rope runs them both very smooth and zero damage to the pulley its really easy to install added a picture the set up its different pulley but u get the idea

I think it was @Joe Newton who told me how you can tie a really loose knot of some description in the rigging line so that it stops in the right place when the groundy is pulling it back up to you, then the climber just shakes it out or something.

 

Was stupidly simple, but of course I have forgotten it.

The on purpose pull up of the rigging line isn't the issue it's the mistaken one or the two quick one that the ring helps with

Yeah, but now I want to know what it was!
