Are all of you guys that are one sticking rappelling down?Just don’t think i want to go that route Too lazy to carry the extra rope and roll it up.
I can fit 35' of 9mm HTP, madrock safeguard, biners, and autoblock in a single sys hauler. My pull-up line doubles as a pull down line for rope retrieval once I'm at the base of the tree. Quick and compact and if I'm in a situation where I won't be needing to rappel I just leave the sys hauler at the truck.
There are a TON of resources on the site that cover this. @boyne bowhunter Has a couple of really good youtube videos:I would like to see a video demonstration of this with a how to on the setup, equipment used, safety precautions, etc. I certainly like the idea but don’t know enough about it.
THIS!!!!!! Excellent advice!As a final word of caution: If you are unsure about any of this I would highly recommend consulting an expert or instructor to make sure you are doing this safely.
I've never done any rescue/rigging work so ill defer to the experts on that one, but if i had to guess it would be because rescue rope is most likely static. Which means less stretch, which means the diameter stays relatively the same. If you're climbing/actually belaying someone, most likely the rope is dynamic in which case the diameter of the rope can shrink while under load.I am looking into the safeguard to repel. It says for rescue/rigging use 8mm-11mm but for “climbing” says 8.9mm-11mm. Whats the difference. I was curious as to how well 8mm oplux works with the safeguard but I do not want to go against specs.
Edit: I see now it says 8.1mm for rescue/rigging so neither would be in spec. Question still stands

I use a jammy but any appropriate cordage or sterling hollow block will do.What “autoblock” are you referring to?

What would happed using the safeguard without autoblock? It doesnt appear as if @boyne bowhunter has any other rope. Just his 25’+ tether and a safeguard.
