Bulldog OAR video

Here is a video of the Bulldog OAR I have made, demonstrating how it functions on rope.

didn't have any audio, don't know if it was the vid or my computer?
That thing looks pretty darn sweet, you made/designed that? If so nice work!
I'd buy one

Thanks, I did design and build it. send me a private message and we'll talk.

Very much like the Unicender in operation. I think I'd feel secure on a rope with that. It seems much simpler in design and construction, do you have plans for production? What would you charge for one?

 

[ssurveyor]

I do have a machinist friend who could make them for me. I was thinking $150.00 to cover my time and material costs. Here is an example of his work, with a RW I designed, and call a Dogbone.

Like it, very simple design...

I like the way you can control your descent some by flipping down a link or two. They're easy to grab. I'm not sure that is the case in the final product though.

I say do a drop test video. If you don't know what I mean, take a look at the other drop tests on other gear out there. There's a few in the youtube library.

I say make them so cheap you sell so many so fast that the things advertise themselves. That way they are popular enough they are demanded by name.

That's what the big Sherrills, Baileys and other bizzes around the world side need to know about what you have. They need to know they are popular, and they are going to be because they are cheap. You do have to make them sign at the bargaining table a contract that binds them to the specific price you want them sold for, or they'll raise price, and Dogbones won't be so popular. You won't get the big spike out of the Dogbone debut like you need to get in order to get some momentum and maybe even a little domination in the market place.

I like it 2

Now comes the fun time getting it tested.
Someone correct me here on the exact numbers ,if you know them[?] ,but doesn't it have to be rated at 5,000 lbs breaking strength to be approved for 500 lbs working [10:1] for ANSI . Got to prove it's not the ''weakest link'',so to speak.

Seams like this will be the most difficult hurdle to overcome.
That and getting a patent before some jackwagon steals your idea and beats you to market with it.

I hope you do well with it.

Do be a Winklevoss twin, get that patented, or someone else will.
The thing I see, I think it would be pretty easy to bump those triggers, making them release, is there a guard?

 

[ssurveyor]

On my youtube site, I do have a static load test and a drop test of a very early OAR that is not as robust as the Bulldog OAR.

The Dogbones are not for sale. I do not want to infringe on Kevin.

Has anyone heard from Jomoco? I know he would be intertested in this latest OAR.

I got his phone number. I talked to him earlier this year. PM me if you want the number.

Thanks Jeff, I suppose he left for his own good reasons. I notice he took down his youtube videos also. I guess I won't pester him with a call.

I think he got torqued off over the discussions of the chipper safety device. I think.
