  1. Here's what I use.... Knew I had a photo of this somewhere!

    Ignoring the fact that 2 crabs are clipped together (this was only set up for a photo) Snakeanchor round the tree, fig 8 clipped into it and the climbing line soft locked off through it, asymmetric prusik on the tail clipped back to the snake anchor.

    Anyone lowering can take the tail with them and clip it to themselves (even just to a loop of cord round their waist if they don't have a harness) and control the descent remotely, and let go of the rope completely if they need to with the hitch as a failsafe.

     

    Do you mean clip the tail to the rescuer? To do that you would have to unclipped the hitch from the snake anchor and clip it to the rescuer.

     

    Is this what you mean or am I being thick?

  2. Both those setups are lacking a safety margin. If for any reason the rescuer has to drop the

    line mid rescue (bees/wild dogs/falling bits of tree), you're coming down fast!

     

     

    Paul, your 8 looks fairly old. Is it rated and stamped as such?

     

    Yes it's rated and LOLER'd. It's a trade off. If you have a friction device in there you have to tend it. This means you can't walk out to the drip line to assist a casualty who may be inverted.

  3. Did you sort it? Thats definitely Ken Burns!

     

    Another thought how long have you got each frame to play for? I use .1 of a second instead of the standard 4. If your still struggling send me a PM and I will sort out some sort of step by step explanation 🙈
