learned a lot from this video, seeing different ways of rigging but still accomplishing the same objective is very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Bob, what a great video brother! I needed that for review, since my home dept, as well as the surrounding depts here in the Spokane area decided years ago that highlines weren't a good investment of our time, and I have -0- clients that want to maintain that skillset presently either. Luckily I still get in tracking lines and 2-rope offsets occasionally...
Glad to help… all these systems have their place & there’s no “one solution” for everything. I think the best skill a practitioner can have is the ability to size-up the scene/environment & match the most appropriate rigging solution
Absolutely! Thanks Bob!
Think of the amount of training involved in learning all of those systems Bob talked about and the level of competence your rescuers need to pull these off. What a nightmare getting everybody up to standard on all shifts on a fire dept. I'm in awe how much training time Bob ( a firefighter) is given training his guys on rope considering all of the other continuing education requirements in a department. Most departments even with special teams don't train nearly enough to become good.
Excellent breakdown of the different systems. That was really good. Well done!
I noticed on your bridle you are using Petzl Adjusts? On one end you are using rings instead of carabiners. Is there a reason for that? What is the advantage?
Thanks! The rings for the head bridle are for proper 3-way loading especially if the bridle is collapsed into “low-profile mode”. When building it out I also tried using a steel delta screwlink, but didn’t quite like it as much
