    My bad, I realized that after I asked....:|: I made up one today that only measures about 3' long, but it's just a trial runner. I can tie a bowline big enough for the snap to pass through and still girth a 5"-6" piece, which is bigger than anything I'd be ziplining out of a tree.

    I have 5 loop runners that I keep handy. I used them yesterday and today to zipline some smallish limbs out from over a house. I will go up to ~500# when there is enough room for the rope sag, as the runners aren't really holding the load as much as controlling the fall of the load. I like the...
