Which brings us back to the gri gri or the unicender type device.
At the end of the day the $10 piece of rope is starting to look pretty damned good isn't it.  |
It's just an idea,but havent said that I've watched this thread for some time and it appears to be going no where, Please don't take offence as I dont intend to offend,My idea basically is a re;engineered gri gri,turned on it's side haveing spring backed rollers applying the desired amount of friction needed.But hey lets pick it to pieces who knows we just might find the Holly Grail..LOL..I've put it out there come let's see what we get???
