Man, Just started looking at the nylon highway links. So many crazy bowlines and looks to be some good break testing results of progress capture devices. The tandem prusik seems hard to beat...

Thanks Kenny. When your talking about the bowline with half hitches, would you use the end of the blue half inch stable braid, or some other anchor rope? That would be my normal tie off, but I was worried about the weak half hitches and the square corners on the beam... I had not thought about...

Wow, thanks again TreeSpyder. Makes sense balancing the beam closer to the center. You can't see them but I did thread a couple gate hinges/pole step kind of lags into the predrilled holes on the beams so if the sings slid they couldn't slide off. I was surprised, neither sling moved at all, and...

Thanks guys. I'll go with the pulley. Seems like the right sized ring floating between the hitch and the over sized block could do the tending job if needed. Not as solid as the right sized pulley though.

Thanks all, I've been wondering if a french prusik or VT would be better than a standard prusik for heavy static loading? Not necessarily with my situation with 1120lbs, but with heavier loads. All the friction hitch break testing I've run across was more geared toward climbing setups. Thanks...

Nice, thanks guys. I've always thought of tenex hitch cords as not the best due to the lower melting point. But I guess that soft hand creates such a good grab that heat isn't the problem. I'll give it a go!

Hey all, I'm planning on using a portable winch (PCW5000) to move some laminated beams across a creek for a trail bridge rebuild. I'm looking for a friction hitch backup to self tend at the ground redirect going to the winch. This will most likely be a 5/8 inch block. I'm wondering what the...
