Add a flying capstan to the list. Dont worry about a sling. Learn knots.

What about some whoopie slings! Also get some some lifting slings, there cheap and come in handy!! And def a flying capstan

Although he might be wanting slings to attatch the pulley to the tree... Whoopie slings are good but dear for your first kit, a split tail will suffice and timber hitch it, same for attaching the capstan, think they're listed as slings on fr jones, eg 12mmx5m 16mmx8m ect

This is pretty much what you want tbh

 

Rigging box 1 | F R Jones and Son

The rigging line is too short

[josharb87]

Oh nooo..... Well It's the same length as the op posted in his first post, and if it's still a problem I guess frjones might just be able to put a longer one in? But for a first light weight rigging kit in the uk it seems quite alright

What are the whoopie slings like when they get covered in resin

[josharb87]

Never had a problem with resin, getting damp and freezing can be a problem, but not really a problem in the uk climate

I just sold the ultimate rigging kit for cheapo on here. Shame you missed out. (Prob overkill for a beginner!)
