The Brass Half Full Project is a movement designed to create a kinship of shared values and believes in self-reliance, personal growth and knowledge seeking. It is our belief that those who have prepared themselves to react to any dangerous situation with learned and mastered skills will not only save their own lives, but the lives of others.
Our mission is to produce quality content related to firearms, shooting, tactical medicine, gear, tactics, mindset, a general preparedness lifestyle and much more.
The system shown here is actually only used for self-rescue if you fall into a crack in the ice as part of a rope team on a glacier. Of course, the other members of the rope team have to build an anchor at the top to avoid being pulled in themselves. The Micro Traxion is not suitable as a stand-alone climbing device because of its teeth, as it is considered half a safety device. If there was an additional connection between the climbing harness and the Ropeman, you would at least have a full safety device. I wouldn't use this for hobby climbing, even though I own the devices shown here.
Why can't you just invest in a Kroll for your chest? does the device you're using have a different function that means you have to do the "Pull" action with the dead rope?
It's a cool system but as a rock climber that has been taught that every system needs to be locked off & redundant forever it scares the shit out of me
We totally get where you're coming from! Rock climbing principles of redundancy and locking off are essential. However, this system is designed with different scenarios in mind, focusing on efficient use of organic assets rather than traditional mountaineering techniques. Safety is always a priority, and we encourage using the system in the appropriate contexts and with thorough training.
If the carabiner or screw lock hits the ground, or a ledge on the way down, it has to be retired because it may have cracks inside. That’s if it doesn’t get stuck in the anchor. Why didn’t the video show the sling pulled free and being safely retrieved?
Absolutely, gear maintenance and regular inspections are crucial. The carabiners used are made from extremely robust machined aluminum that offers exceptional durability and reliability. Though, as always, safety comes first-so make sure to inspect your gear regularly! As for not showing the entire process-our inner filmmakers are still learning the ropes. Thanks for the feedback!
Absolutely, you’re right! It’s always a good idea to be mindful of those sneaky rock traps. But don’t worry, in a number of scenarios, our trusty setup can slide through without a hitch.
Great observation! No backup or prusik on the rappel this time because we're focusing on organic assets, not traditional mountaineering techniques. Think of it as going back to our roots.

It's a bit hard to see how this works in the video. I think I got it, but I'm unsure. It would be helpful to show in detail how this is set up and how it works, especially how retrieval works. Perhaps show it on the ground first with close-ups from different angles illustrating the role that each piece of equipment plays in making the technique work safely. That would help folks unfamiliar with the gear and the technique get a clear understanding of what's going on.
Thanks for the feedback! We couldn’t show the entire technique in the video because it really requires in-person training for full mastery. There are many nuances that need careful attention. We believe it's best to learn this specialized technique hands-on rather than through a brief online video. We’d love to have you join one of our classes. Hope to see you swinging by soon!
