A brief example of my preferred way to set up a light weight gin pole.

Great video! The team I am on just received one. Quick question; Is there a reason you opted for the round turn and two half hitches for three strands connecting the pole to the anchor over a voodoo? Would the round turn 'n two half hitches be more solid on a system that is having repetitive loads?

HUFF well It depends on the cord being used. For Gin Poles I think it is worth using the lowest stretch cord you can find. From my research, the 5.9mm Sterling PowerCord works best however a single knotted strand is not strong enough - therefore I want multiple strands attempting to share the load and in a way that can be tied off with significant tension.

Ah thanks for the quick feedback! Generally we use our personal lines when setting up our pole, but we have used that PowerCord before and it's some neat stuff. When they said it was hard in the hand they were not kidding its some tough stuff.

Richard Delaney , would that be your fast fours in that pouch while using a Mad Rock Safeguard on the other end?

Just watched it again... I wonder if you could show us what's that you're wearing in the bag around your waist? Maybe the open bag below the plate?

So the anchor plate is the whole system's focused floating anchor? Any thought to using a third anchor to consider the plate bomber? Overkill or no?

Not at all. It completely depends how you choose to run your system. If I have any doubts about any of the anchors then I will certainly rig to avoid movement of the focal point.

Richard Delaney thanks for the reply! Love the videos. Would love to see an example of guying the bottom of the gin pole, if you’re looking for content suggestions. Thanks again!

Hi Richard, why you use two round turn v.s. clove hitch, any particular reason?
@RopeLab3 жыл бұрын
Sorry for the delay in responding. Two reasons: 1. so that it can be adjusted very easily even when under tension, 2. so that it can be untied easily once finished. This system is placed under a lot of tension so the clove would really bite down hard.
