All this is very interesting for retrieving your pulley saver. My question is how to you get your PS up in the branch in the first place. It would seem you need a throw line to take up the PS so would you not just raise the PS on a stout line capable of holding working weights and retrieve it by pulling it over the branch at the end of the job. If done this way you don't even need a PS just a standard pulley. I would appreciate any information regarding when you would use a PS and why just a simple pulley would not be best with a second line.
Just bought a new one. It has a thimble and with the wrapping on my tight eye..it's almost impossible to pass the rope through the pinto or the thimble.
How would you get the pulley saver installed without climbing the tree to install the retrieval line? I don't see a way to install the working line from the ground.
I`m not sure but I think there is no way. You probably have to climb up the first time with the line just over a branch or with a usual friction saver.
This is done on a low branch but some might want to set their pulley higher and fast. I believe you can accomplish the same thing by setting up a running bowline and prusik on the leg of the bowline. If you pass the two tails eyes of the prusik on each side of the bowline loop and then onto the pinto pulley.. you could in theory run it up to a high crotch? You’d need to have your climb line set in the pulley before pulling up the bowline and an extra rope for the bowline. I haven’t tried it yet but thought about it once I got the pinto pulley.
This seems very hillbilly to me there seems to be a high chance of the hole pullly saveer coming out the tree along with who ever is attached to it is it ce marked
