Ya gotta know the rules before you can break them. With a lot of things, there's "by the book", and then there's hacky modifiers that violate the book rules. You should know the difference before you break the rules. Rigging off your hitchtending pulley in a time of need isn't as big deal as...

I like the shackle+pulley best. The other configurations have sharp metal biting into textiles.

That quick release shackle is kind of interesting. I don't think I'd trust a quick release anything in a rigging scenario where failure would mean destruction. I'd also be a little leery of having a cord follow the load down, and not interfere, but it's worth a try. Only thing I'd suggest to not...

How much weight? The light duty webbing slings on wesspur aren't much more money than tenex by the foot, and the webbing slings are done. Just open the package and use them.

Yea, this was Butch's place. That's Butch up top. Here's a memorial thread... https://www.masterblasterhome.com/threads/masterblaster-aka-butch-ballowe-iii.21781/

Why's that Stephen; weight?

I don't think there's an undisputed king of mechanicals. It's a matter of personal taste and preference. There's been too many failures with the zigzag to get me to own one, and for undefined reasons, I'm biased against Petzl hardware anyway. For purely mechanical, the Unicender and Ropewrench...

You can get corn free gas in Delta. It's a little spendy cause of the corn free penalty + PA taxes, but cheaper than premix. It's a bit of a hike, especially for you, but if you go that way for work sometimes, it might be worth taking a 5G can or two and filling up.

The argument is 40 is heavier in oil, therefore leaner in fuel. I don't completely buy it. There may be some truth in there somewhere, but gets lost in practical application.

I looked into it before. It's conceptually easy, but a hassle, and kind of expensive. When you remove the ethanol, you have to boost the octane cause it went with the alcohol.
