I wonder how to do a fat guy double loop to have a slower full on descent?

Under fall panic user may tend to grab the lever even more, probably safer to use with the trusty prusik.

You actually don’t need to go through all that trouble. Just place your tether through the carabiner and it would do the same job.

Great idea what did you make the tending cord out of? Also I’m wondering if I can place two of them on. One behind and one in front. I use a 2 in 1 lanyard so I’m sliding the prusik both ways up the tree. I assume it would work the same I would just have to make the loop that goes above the Prusik to be a little longer. What do you think?

They are made from UHMWPE (aka Amsteel). It would not work in both directions, at least not like you would want it to.

@H2Saddles3 жыл бұрын
@@marcg611 The length needs to be shorter than the distance between the bottom of your friction hitch to your carabiner. You want the weight to be transferred to your tender and able to push on the bottom of the friction hitch while there is no load on the friction hitch. Hopefully that makes sense. If you girth hitch the tender to your carabiner, keep in mind that you will lose some length in that girth hitch.
