compealtly worth the effort. I wish I had a Kanga to do it with But non the less I dont... The weight rating is for what the whole system will hold. As for the rating it goes by how many pickits you will use ie: If you use 1:1:1 in a row it will hold 700 lbs, if you use 2:1:2 (like on the vid) it gives you 1400lbs. You can also use 3:1:3 that will give you 1900lbs. The reason for twisting the rope with the center pickit is to tighten down the rope, it is much easyer doing it this way then by hand or pulley. The twists in the rope wont weakin the rope much do to there is no bites in the rope with it.

Now there are other ways to make it stronger by adding another system to the rear of the first one and lashing them together.I wouldnt bother at that point it would be getting to be a bit much. The main reason I like to use it, is due to the fack it is a fast non bulky and reliable way to never have to worry about having an anchor point even when you canot get a kanga in. I know it doesnt happen much but when it does its well worth it.
Boa I think it was there when they moved in. I cant see Doc Bruse wanting it there, plus I think I would of had to put it there
