mechanical friction hitches??????????????????????

[Nailsbeats]

Yeah, that not being able to put that stuff on midline is cramping.

Ain't it though. I have a Spiderjack and don't use it. I like a hitch for the fact that it bends when struck.

Oar

This one I made has a flexible spine and an adjustable attach point, so that you can dial in the amount of grip it produces. It is mid line attachable. On a doubled rope you really only need two arms rather than the three arms pictured.

Two Arm Bulldog OAR

Hey Captain here is the picture for you.

It really does not need that large of a hitch just to hold the standing line in this O-rig configuration, in fact Today I was trying a 6mm loop tether about 10 inches long, and just girth it to the standing line.

looks cumbersome to me an I see c- clips I ain't trusting my life on no c- clip in the bush.

use a hitch hiker. combo mech and friction hitch. works srt and drt without having to retie anything for the switch over.

Yes the Hitch Hiker is a great device and I enjoyed meeting Paul at the Charlotte competition last year. Hard to beat a hitch.
