U-RIG -- Pocket MA for tree work

One (1) Universal Rig system delivers the best features of three (3) types of systems ...

Pocket Rescue: strong, small, rigged ready to go
Fiddle Blocks: 5:1 MA, low friction rope geometry
Set of Fours: 4:1 hauling/tensioning, 13mm line capacity, prusiks (not cleat) for safety


This video is long. For the experienced rigger, it shows a new approach to pocket MA based on innovative design and hardware from Rock Exotica. For the Newbie, the video is a visual primmer showing several basic rigging arrangements in action.

Special thanks to RockExotica (design help and hardware), TreeStuff (break testing) and Nick Bonner (cordage advice).

This idea needs refinement and polish. I need some help from those skilled in the art. Particularly, I need a "kinder gentler" Load Prusik for 10mm HTP that's still very strong. Also, I'd like a stronger way to capture and hold the RockOs in proper position ... rubber bridges don't hold up to rigging.

Thanks, in advance. And be prepared to listen FAST ..... !
