Small limbs, sure, looks like it would work. Large limbs and logs swinging around bumping into the tree once cut, I wouldn't trust it.

WoW had no clue they are thinking of using that instead tie a knot. WOW what is this world coming to. Good thing you can't buy talent and balls or I'd be in trouble. All hater's leave it alone!!
small limbs I usually just use a biner and webbing sling anything with meat gets tied off rope only.
that was no shot at you just the product... thats kinda funny but people will buy it.

It just might sell seeing how many are paying good bucks for spliced eyes cause of all the time it saves.

Not for rigging. I think its a ......double cam ascender . great tool. $99.00 at sherrill.rockzilla brand( maybe) Clip a beaner through the hole then put a loop runner on. Clip another beaner on and connect that end to your saddle.(bridging the device and your saddle) As you foot lock advance the device ahead of you with your hands. Both tails of rope stay on the ground.Basically drt with srt speed. You can also put two foot cams on (panten) and put that device on your chest. Then you just step up and down. The cams work in unison . I assume the camera man doesnt climb the pic is retarded.

Looks like a false crotch to me. Put a biner and pulley or block under it to rig off of.

If I bought that it would just go into the tub of aluminum tree stuff I tried and don't use.

Lol. I got one of those too. I can't for the life of me see even a somewhat practical use for that thing. Well, maybe if forget to bring my knot book to the job in could come in handy.

Even then, just have your help put a steel biner on the end of the rope with a bowline. You should only have to have him retie it a couple times throughout the day until you get the hang of it again, lol.

technically you have to back it up with a prusic or something similar. Now its a time consumer.

I read some where that they are not ANSI approved because the constant shock loading in riging causes them to chew through the rope, in rigging, plus even the manufacture says 500lb & 8" limit, knots are best cause they dont wear in the same place every pick.

These devices are rope friendly. No teeth. And safer then your knot because it slips when loaded over 1000lbs. Giving a shock absorber feel. Problem in rigging is they slip.:taped:

Sometimes I feel that they come up with stuff, just to get to that guy that has to buy all the gadgets. That looks like they are trying to re invent the wheel.
