I started off thinking this was yet another video covering the bleedin' obvious but theres some good practical advice and tips here, thanks for posting!
I'm very impressed in how you manage your ropes with the slings it keeps it organized and less of a rats nest. I've taken many courses and no one ever has shown me that. I will be using that technique from now on. Thanks!!
You are a life saver! I was trying to figure out alone how to make extendable quick-draws... dropped one carabiner while climbing... found your video! hahahah
I know webbing and dyneema webbing is best for slings. But can you use for example static cord rated at 14 Kn doubled through each carabiner as a a quickdraw? In case you haven't got enough of dyneema Quickdraws? Any reply appreciated?
Really nice video. I have a question, is there any negative to keeping your slings stored twisted like that (@ 2:08)? Does the twisting have any negative effects on the fibers of the slings?
Uh oh... at 3:13 he tied a knot in dynema, very bad! That can break if shock loaded. DMM has a great video of the effects of shock loading on knotted dynema
yes but this is short and taught so no problem - the DMM video is about falling weights on a slack line; shock loading = bad. Always keep belay slings taught.
He called a threat a bomber anchor. I’m not saying not to use it, and I’m not saying people haven’t died using actually bomber safety, but come on. There are too many stories of people dying because they used a thread while both caving and climbing to ever call one bomber.
Its pretty safe as long as you don't shock load it. Has a lot of advantages too. www.mountainproject.com/forum/topic/108738915/consensus-on-knots-in-slings
very sorry to burst your bubble...you have put up this clip showing ways to endanger ppls lives. if you're qualified that amounts to attempted murder ! you just CANNOT use any types of sling(s) to make an anchor, whereby the sling(s) contains any knot(s) as the anchor will snap under fall factor 2 conditions !!!
please note the final anchor should be capable of at least 3 tons ..ie 30 Kn under shock load of a fall factor 2 thus it should also have 2 carabiners with opposing gates at the end .....
