Anyone considered making something like the GRCS?

Right.

 

So I says strap a remotely controlled reel of rope to the tree's base n have done with it for goodness sakes!

 

SRT's all the rage now anyhow.

Just take the next logical step and have no tail of rope at all below you. Redirect's an easy pulley addition.

 

You're right, this thread's all about homemade uncertified contraptions assembled by mad men.

 

Therefor?

 

I'm right at home, and the water's warm and inviting.

 

But it's rumored see, that there's piranha in this particular stream down south?

 

So as a design principle? One must have a working emergency escape route built into your support systems. A wire spool long enough to reach the ground, integral to rope termination T bar in my case. Kinda like a high drag heavy duty shark fishing reel attached to the ballast bars midpoint. In emergencies hook this to your belt n jump!

 

A bit like bungee jumping eh?

 

Look out below!

CE marked?

 

Just a question, I don't want persecution.

Interesting reading, especially points 2.1.4 to 2.1.8 so maybe a CE mark is not required although information for the safe use and a record of proof testing is if you are thinking of fabricating and then selling a device used in the control of loads in tree work is.

 

But obviously this document could well be wrong.
