Poor man's pulley saver cambium saver

[Rupe]

Yep, that bowline is no good!! Either back it up or use a figure eight knot.

 

And that bit of tubing or some garden hose could go in that loop to help keep it open for retrieval.

Can't see that being easy to retrieve

I have a pulley saver proper and even that's a pain in the a*** to retrieve!

 

No nor can I, and I think gustharts kow that as well, but wont be any worse than the thing he's making and it look neater.

 

With my rg (homemade) I have to be very careful to leave the tree facing the thing to get it retrieve ok.

I made a poor mans pulley saver a couple of years ago, using a bowline (yosemite variation would be best) loop with hose to keep it open, then loads of leccy tape round the hose and knot. a small oval mallion tied to the tail of the pulley saver for retrieval and you're away!

even the proper pulleysaver can be an bugger to retrieve, not good when its stuck up a 130ft plane and all the other climbers have just pulled their ropes out...then start laughing at your sorry ass

Tie tge rope in a big loop and wrap the prussic around both parts of the line and have to stopper knots at the end

Set it looser than Kevins ahole and it should retrieve nicely.. That was always a personal nightmare of mine, getting a cambium saver stuck on kevs watch haha:lol:

When used properly will use a double bowline, it is non retrievable but that's not a problem I believe I save enough energy using it to go back up and retrieve it, plus it saves it hitting the deck when retrieving from the ground. Shouldn't be a problem using a running bowline as its the same used as my top anchor on srt
