Ropemans in stock anywhere?

[flinginairos]

Trying to find an extra Ropeman and i'm not having any luck. You guys seen any in stock recently?

 

[redsquirrel]

I can't believe how hard these things can be to find at times!

Treestuff will have them in 1-2 weeks it says:

These two places say they have them. Trekkinn.com and calibey.com. I just bought one two weeks ago and can't remember where I bought it from.

I tried Trekkinn but in the final order page my address kept coming up wrong and seemed a bit fishy so I opted out if that one lol. I ended up ordering a Ropeman 2 from Treestuff. I only need it for adjusting my flip line while spike climbing so it should be fine.

Wesspur has 5 left

I just got one from Moutain equipment Coop in Vancouver.

Flingin', did you find one? Or do I need to dig up my 'extra stash' of unused ones to send one to you?

I think I have one or two that still have all the paperwork attached to them. I can replace it when they are back in stock if you were unable to find one and need to get your season started.

 

[mbeard1969]

what are you guys using this for?

 

[Maustypsu]

what are you guys using this for?

Everything!
This is what we use to adjust the length of tethers, bridges, linemans belt, etc. If you use rope for any of these purposes, you can use a Ropeman to adjust the length using just one hand. I use two ropes and two Ropemen. One for my Linemans belt, which later becomes my bridge. The other for my tether.

 

[mbeard1969]

so you use them instead of the prussic or blakes hitch?

Yes

 

[mbeard1969]

Is there any applications where it's overkill or more advantagous to use a prussic or other hitch...Like on your tether...I was thinking may the constant weight on the tether while hanging might damage the rope quicker than a prussic?

 

[BassBoysLLP]

If you plan on falling any significant distance, I would strongly recommend the Prussic or other hitch

 

[mbeard1969]

don't plan to fall any distance....that defeats the purpose....lol

I currently use a tree saddle with the straps and tether that came with it, so no experience with the rope applications....although about to bite the bullet on an aerohunter as the Saddle is too big......

One adjustment with a ropeman and you want look at another prussic knot again. I might be able to get by with one on a tether, buy I bought 2 so no reason to mess with prussic. Lol
