Not necessary but will alleviate much headache
figure 8 with a stopper knotAnother question: when I get the rope that will be used for tether/rappelling, what kind of knot needs to be tied to make the eye for the girth hitch?
Is the stopper knot to keep the girth hitch closed necessary? How do you tie this knot? I saw a vid where the knot slid to and from the girth hitch in order to move tether/rappel rope up the trunk for one sticking.
Stopper knot behind the fig 8. Its a double safety precaution. back up. Probabaly not needed- but peace of mind. that the figure 8 CANT come undone.
In another terminology......A stopper is what you speak of on the . rope to hold the girth iotch in place so it doesnt fall. Slider knot is really a better term. Barrel knot I believe ..more of a Place Keeper than a safety device.
you will not be sorry buying your kit from DanO if price is not an issue...100% reliable equipment and so simple to use...less steps equals less chance for missed steps...rappelling is also so bad ass fun and fast...also if it suits you the rapple system can be used as both your tether and rappel rope so you dont need a separate tether set up...after rappelli g all this season I am convinced its the way to go...I have DanO's system and it rules!...if its not your thing that stuff sells on here like hotcakesThanks. I’m looking hard at the kit sold by ewo but not 100% sure I need or even want the safeguard vs an atc. But was thinking if I ever got into srt I might need the safeguard anyway. I did learn that an auto block is a good idea to add to the safeguard setup.
