That floppy feature is a little spooky when negative rigging and there’s a second or two before the piece is caught, where the porty drops a little before being yanked back up. A porty is usually less expensive, and it is easier for a single person to install, and they’re very strong. I hope I...

That is a notable difference between the two for sure, but the bigger difference is a bollard is strapped to the trunk with a big ratchet strap and mostly stays put, while the portawrap has a rope sling below it and kinda flaccidly lays there unless it’s loaded. Once loaded, the porty is sturdy...

I highly recommend the FTC MicroCylinder. I’ve always preferred a fixed bollard over a floating portawrap type lowering device, but I may be biased because I didn’t use a floating one until maybe 12 years into doing the work. You can definitely get by with either...

Cam cleat. I got a few too, very handy. I also got the ISC Haulbiner set, easy 6:1 or 7:1, but takes a lot of rope. I got those setup with 300’ of 1/4” polyester double braid.

I have several CMI pulleys too, I’m very happy with everything I got from them. Not fancy, they don’t make stuff as pretty as DMM, but the prices reflect that, and it’s reliable bomber American made gear. Their blocks are virtually indestructible.

People seem really happy with the Pinto for climbing purposes, in a false crotch/ friction saver setup or hitch tender. I got a Pinto and Pinto Rig for 5/8” rope and when I saw they were marked with 50Kn, I assumed they were meant for rigging, so never tried climbing on one. Truth be told, aside...

OmniBlocks are nice for most rigging you’d do with 1/2” rope. I got a 1.5” and a 2.6 Material Handler which is rated in pounds force the orange 2.6” is rated in kilo newtons which is also a measurement of force rather than weight… pretty sure they’re the same only one is red and one is orange...
