I swung by west marine to scope things out. First off- this thing is awesome...
But that's besides the point.
I ended up snagging one of these-
I have a small double-sheave pulley at home that might match nicely with this. The cleat on this guy should allow for no-fuss tension holding...
Not a bad idea. I'll look at a few systems. Though I'll tell you that I'd rather pay a little more for something to get it from a reputable manufacturer known for making things that can handle the elements. I'm sure that amazon system works, but was designed knowing it would be used just a...
Not for nothing, but this block is only a few dollars more that 2 of the small x rings and would offer WAY more MA than a x-ring system would.
Here's the link: http://www.harken.com/productdetail.aspx?id=39799&taxid=415
It's for 5/16" line (which is the size I want), weighs less than an...
I've read all this before- but it leaves me with some questions:
In the act of cabling? The stem is the anchor and the cable grip is the load.

Oh... Lemme go run out and get one :p

I'm gonna look more closely at the premade pulley systems that were built for this, but the x-ring...
Body weight is ideal- but I have to be ready for those times when the tie in points are not in our favor.
Just to clarify- you use these...
...as a temporary grip on the cable while you install the permanent hardware?
I'd need to carry a few to accommodate the 3 sizes of cable we install-...
Okay. A couple pics...
Black pouch has all the tools. In the red pouch are the pieces for the 3 different size rigguy we install. Before heading up the tree you open the red pouch, grab the pieces you need, put them into the front zippered pocket on the black bag.
Scrench for size comparison...
We use Rigguy wire stops. All necessary tools fit in a small fanny pack thing. Stylish- I know.
The total list of supplies are:
Rigguy hexes, cones, and caps
Knipex cobalt mini wire cutters
Pliers
*Whoopie sling
*Carabiner
*Ratchet strap on 1" webbing
*Another carabiner
*Cable grip
