Good reading. Keep the slack out of your tether and the 4kn rating of the Ropeman 1 is plenty

Shows 4kn to be 800 pounds. I keep the slack out of my tether. I weigh 200 lbs loaded down with gear. I feel safe with the rope man.

I think it would be more of a issue on a linemens belt system if anything. On a tether unless you fall around 3ft you should never reach 4kn.

I agree. My lineman’s belt is attached with a prusik

One is regarded as the best. Not trying to sway you but I have been pretty happy with a schawbash hitch on a eye to eye beeline. Releases much easier than a Blake's hitch. With a micro pulley can have one handed operation.

Wish it was mine. Thetracker gave it to me. Works great. Removes mechanical failure from the equation. Releases easily. I use it on my tether and I know he uses it on his linesmans belt. I also have ropemans but have been using this lately.

Here is the pic. Not a lot of leftover. Not sure how close you want to make it. I have a micro pulley on it to make it more one handed. You can easily make your tether longer with one hand without the pulley. To shorten it still requires two. But this thing doesn't bind at all like a Blake's hitch. If I can I will make a video.
