Ok, don't shoot the messenger here. Just wondering.. could you rappel down on a Muddy Safe Line? I know it's not as packable as oplux or some of the rope most guys are using. Thanks.

Muddy safe line

I’ve got about 35 rappels on mine. I also have used them as rope mod ropes and the bridge of my H2 is muddy safeline rope. Guys will tell you it isn’t rated because you don’t know the source of the rope. But I do it on an almost daily basis and it is fine.

I’ve got a roll up pouch that someone on here made for me and it carries fine in it. That’s it on the right side. I also have an extra carabiner in there, my figure 8, an extra accessory cord in case I gotta figure something out plus my pull down rope and a niteize gear tie.

Nice. I have a pouch like that also. I bought if off a guy on FB. Can you put an autoblock below that figure 8 and control your decent like that? I was thinking of getting an ATC and an autoblock to use just like this.I’ve got a roll up pouch that someone on here made for me and it carries fine in it. That’s it on the right side.

That’s exactly what i do. I run a schwebash as my main hook up point and then when it’s time to rappel I just set my lineman’s belt and stand up. Tend down the hitch and clip it into my right side lineman’s loop and take it off my bridge. Then I put in my figure 8 and clip to my bridge. I’ll shorted my bridge a bit so I can see the figure 8 and the autoblock without the autoblock reaching the figure 8. I have about 6” in between. Once I load my system I remove my LB and away we go.

Ok, so your schwabish hitch (I use a prussic) slides down and becomes your autoblock attached to linesman loop?
Yep. And it’s much easier to tend under the load because the bulk of the load is on the figure 8 and not the hitch.

Can I get the name of the guy on FB selling that rope pouch? That is just what I've been looking for.
Look up @sharps4090
May be the same guy. He gave me a super good deal and was VERY fast and thorough.

Second this. i havent got mine yet but from the pics hes sent me its super legit
I'll have to check when I get home later. Send me a message later and I'll check to find his name for the pouch.
Thank you for the reply but I can not seem to find @sharps4090 on FB or as a member here. Where should I be looking?
check the DIY forum about the sewing machines hes all over that.
I have been using the muddy rope for linesman and tether for a while now and I would say if I wanted to start rappelling I'd get another rope to rappel with. The sheath and core have a lot more slop/play than nicer ropes and can bunch and create some extra friction heat....I'm not an expert..just my opinion
