Ok guys. Knotknewb

5/8” arborplex for rigging

I think I want to just use biners and choker straps on the ends, or at least one. What terminations do you like?

5/8" is fairly beefy imo. For limbs and for trunk sections up to say 300lbs, I'd use 1/2" with a rope snap on end for super fast, easy hook ups and unhooking. For heavier pieces, I'd go with the 5/8 and a bowline.

I scaffold knot into a biner with keyhole gate, not ledge gate. Fusion D steel.

Half hitches ( or marls on brittle pieces) take the strain of the biner.

If a piece breaks apart, marls cinch onto the wood. If the marl breaks the piece, you can get a knot.
