    Well was having a play with the o-rig with ross and adam yday and cos you cant retrive it through a cocoon when using the non spliced end,i was thinking using a normal setup but as a 2:1 system,so the second anchor point could be retrived,(if you have a look at the "conifer dismantle" in the guide to the canopy)?? Does that make sense? So how would you do it for a redi?
