sorry for the quality iphone camera is poo this was £10 and it was a choose your own and cut it down yourself so me and my son went and chose the tree and he cut it down which i think is all part of christmas
-
too much for me sir
-
if you were to lower a load of 100kg the load would obviosly be 100kg the other end of the rope you would have a 100kg force to hold so there is a 200kg force on the pulley and anchor
-
this came today and i did not recognise it. I have now identified it just wondered how many others would know it is 10mm as a clue and what else is in the box

did you leave the logs on site if so i would return and try to take photos of the rotten and decayed logs

will try to explain again step 1 tie rope to thin tying in point with a pulley on the end (single pulley) step 2 tie the other end to a stringer anchor a bit lower down the tree then work of the top pulley and the backup rope is not loaded it is there as a backup if required when the top anchor failed if this does not make sense i will take some photo,s tomorrow if doing this type of work always strop on as well
-
it would not have doubled the loading if half hitched at the top as the rope going down to the main attachment would only be there as a in case the top anchor failed would it not
-
sorry i think its crap and dangerous you have doubled the load on the top anchor so its more likely to fail and at some point the drop will be too big and shock all the system if you had used a seperate piece if rope from good anchor up to weak anchor and a half hitch then clipped a pulley in it would have been much safer and i would have said you actually had thought about it. sorry if this sounds strong anyone got other thoughts

i have seen a different side to the sarnie snaffler i ate his tea last time i visited well some of it. and he did offer me more and i will go as far as to say...... It was nice. But i now never offer biscuits after he emptied the box. But as for spending 2 days smoking tabs and drinking coffee. I make him earn his money and at least i drink tea so no chance of him emptying my flask
