I recently bought one of those fancy block and tackle for raising limbs and pulling trees over. I finally got a chance to play with it this week raising a small lead straight up, I used the typical six coil prussik to attach the traveling block to the lowering line. It slipped the first time and I had to fool with to get it to bite.
Basically I'm looking for a first time, every time, type of attachment, that is basically idiot proof, if someone else has to set up this kind of rigging.
We have needed a tool like this for a long time to go along with the Porta Wrap and I'm going to make some alterations to my homemade Bollard friction brake to accomidate my new toy. So we have something like a GRC to work with, which will probaly be next to buy.
If there is anyone who has used this tool extensively and can pass along some tid bits I'd appreciate it. I've done a search all over the sites on the net, and I know it has been talked about before, I just can't find it and am tired of looking .
