I reached out to Nick. He said it’s just a locked Brummell with an end-to-end bury to finish it off. The pic above hides it. It’s visible in this pic if you look closely.

Wasn’t sure where to post this query…I’m wanting to make up a couple of “loop” ring rigs, but I’m unsure of how to terminate the ends. I’ve studied pics but can’t figure out how they do it. Thoughts?

You don’t what? Rig out big pieces…or wonder what folks use who do? 😆

Meh…I’m good! I’d have to go to my big CMI steel block to use a 1” sling!

That was my interpretation as well, Kyle, but I’m wondering what in the world folks use when they rig out 3k# pieces? I’ve heard folks claim as much as 3500# logs negative rigged. My biggest rigging stuff is 3/4” Tenex, though I do have a 1” Tenex eye sling I made for pulling stuff. If the...

Treestuff lists working load limits of 4250# for the 3/4” Ultra…and 4480# for the 3/4” whoopie. I am curious as ti how they arrived at those figures, as the Ultra seems inherently stronger by design. On another note…would that WLL be the weight of the piece being rigged, or is that the TOTAL...

Yes sir.

That was why I used it there. Not much room to run/needed to snub it. Worked like a charm. I always notch my bollard into the trunk to eliminate any chance of it shifting/slipping.

Here’s a pic of that tree. Not the piece I’m rigging here, but the next one, the one where I’m positioned in the pic, was the big one. I rigged off the one I’m rigging in the pic, then swapped to the 5/8” (new) Polydyne to rig off the big one.

I’ve got a piece, but thanks. That big chunk was rigged on 5/8” PolyDyne, using an ISC 3/4” block (not the giant one), on a brand new 3/4” TenexTec whoopie I made up. Carl took 4 wraps on the bollard and it barely ran. (Didn’t have a lot of room to run). The Ultra should be strong enough...

And would you use the Ultra for heavy rigging? My heavy is generally 1000-1500#. Biggest chunk I ever rigged we (Carl and I) estimated at 2250# I think it was. White oak…8-1/2’ long…~28” diameter, best I recall. I’m wondering if the Ultras are good for the heavy stuff as well?

I bought a Bend Right ring a few weeks back and am getting ready to splice up a sling for it. I have made/used loopies, whoopies and regular eye slings, but have never made/used an Ultra sling. For those of you that have experience with both, which do you prefer…and why? The Ultra has a certain...
