Just the opposite Susie...it shows that man can do the work with one hand tied behind his back. You probably need cargo pocket pants to carry massive payment books that will never get much smaller after eab is gone.

Was / am a trad climber from way back & have spent many years taking big whippers on quick draws & non locking biners.
Some of my retired snap link biners are on my climbing saddles for hanging gear, self tethering small limbs & aid climbing leggy eucs for prunes.
But don't wouldn't use them for zip lining. We zipline some big heavy blocks, not just canopy / limbs, few reasons wouldn't use non lockers, not so much the rating, but more the function. Zip lining applies some very different movements & forces on the gear compared to 'normal' positive & negative rigging.
* Very high chance of the unclipping from line during the fall, twist & fly movements. They are designed to clip & unclip from rope easily with two fingers.
* Friction generated by biners on lines is very high, that along with the inevitable grit on gear will wear the biner frame very quickly. Quickdraw biners generally have large focus on weight reduction, with paired back frames.
The balance I've found is works well is some oval tri-locks. Good solid frame, round, along with oval shape of biners ensure clean running, minimal snagging, so far good durability.
Flat flying a long (Sydney bluegum) limb for clearance through gap, double leg sling, crude but effective, nice soft landing next to chipper.
Prepping a block for transit on same tree. Standard lockers (ran out of zipline slings), block will twist in air so butt leading, flat flying, but slightly weighted down so will dig into dirt & not bounce into anchor tree at end.
I dont zipline chunks, none of my rigging will handle it, only small limbs, if im somewhere that I cannot have it come undone its simple enough to put a second biner in facing the opposite direction
ive seen a few speedline kits sold with non-lockers

The plywood bozos look like they need a drink. Do you ever help or do you just bury em in dead sticky schit whenever you can? bet you went home at this point and ate a big pile of glazed donuts while they talked dirty schit about you and planned to go to a better company after they get their measly pay checks on Fri.?

Hey listen you old penihs puffer...you had your chance and you pu$$ed out like a stale ole vag been around the docks by the boat yard too long to sell it anymore. You were called out...com'on down here to the Nati, a mere 3 hour drive on a Sun. I know you aren't doing anything on Sun (or any other day for that matter) cept sitting around drinking moon shine and eating government cheese. You could have won a thousand dollars if you were right but you know the old Vet knows when a tree is a hunert feet or not by now. We even use a range finder sometimes but I measured it off my big bucket truck while my crane guy put on his ballast weights.
So what have you ever put up son. You are "No Dich too Small to Puff on" Let's see some of the big dichs you USED to climb...either vid or picture. Quit trying to get some rep by jumping on other's posts when you got NOTHING....nothin but eat govt. cheese lol.

Nice....if you don't have extra equipment like that and are concerned about slipping down a spar/stem or just want a more stabile lanyard set up...just take one wrap around the tree and it becomes quickly a choking lanyard.
