What happens when you rig a small piece with the safe bloc? I can imagine you have to feed it down to the groindies yourself

Depends on how many holes you thread the rope through and the diameter of the rope you are using bigger rope more friction more holes more friction I don't think without using it it's possible to understand fully it's usefulness i spend 90 percent of my time taking trees down and working with different ground crews every day some times being able add some friction in the system is really helpful lads with less experience lowering seem to be able to get letting stuff run smoothly dialed in much easier than with a bollard it's not a replacement but another aid that really helps with production and a smooth safe job 🖒

Happens a fair bit when your taking some light bits. No point in going back to the SafeBloc to remove it from one hole to only go back to thread it back trough.

I have found giving it a little slack works well though, if you have the space for it to do so obviously. When it gets to a point where it's too heavy for hand held I add it to the bollard but normally run half a turn less to allow for the SafeBloc turns.

With it through two holes with a 16mil line I found it ok even on some pretty small stuff and enough for some fairly big stuff when I used 12mil line it seemed to have allot less friction on the bigger pieces

Yeah we're running 16mm. But have found if it's through 3 holes it can stick with light stuff.

Had an excellent morning ziplining oak boards over a cliff and into the back of a trailer. Plenty of help from the clients family too
