These are my personal thoughts and experience of using pig rigs and vector pulls to unpin a canoe from rocks in white water.

Ray, Lisa DeHart here, I love this setup. So great that you can work the whole rig so close to shore and I can’t thank you enough for the French Prussic, I also found it called the Dutch clinch knot…anyway I’m never using the other one again. This one so much easier and faster to execute and so much better at holding. And yes, I am a subscriber! Fair winds and full bellies.

@RayGoodwinCanoe 7 месяцев назад

You are so welcome! Thank you or commenting Lisa, it is appreciated. Yep the French Prussik is really good. Back in my mountaineering days I was introduced to it for hauling and rescues but with the proviso that if you knock it from the top it releases whether you want it to or not. In those situations which were life dependant, when climbing a rope, I would always use the classic prussik. Anyway now the weather is slowly improving I must get back to creating videos. Keep well and thanks.

Hey Ray. Rory again from eastern Canada. I know this is an old video but I wanted to compliment you on it. Excellent demonstrations and explanations. I will incorporate some of them in my own Paddle Canada moving water courses. Great job!

@RayGoodwinCanoe 6 месяцев назад

Awesome, thank you Rory. Appreciated. I need to do one more in that series on doing a roll over. When the weather is warmer. Keep well

@philschaefer4651 4 года назад

Another great video. Looks like I'll be practicing some knots before spring, and buying a decent recovery kit. This channel is getting expensive!

@RayGoodwinCanoe 4 года назад

I accept no cost liability. LOL Glad to give you something to practise though.

@jychasle 3 года назад

This is so useful and informative, thanks a lot. I didn't expect a breaking rope to be such a hazard, I'll definitely be extra careful.

@RayGoodwinCanoe 3 года назад

Thank you for your kind comments. Yep you only have to see one rope go and the destructive power stays with you.

Thanks Ray and family 😀, yet another great instructional video, thanks for adding in the safety info, a lot of people don't understand what can happen when a rope goes past its strain point or as you stated the stress /strain on the anchor point becomes too much. Once again many thanks, Nige.

@RayGoodwinCanoe 4 года назад

Glad you appreciated it. Yep a lot have no idea on consequence on this stuff. A friend of mine was hauling a vehicle out of mud with his land rover winch. He could hear the strain so asked his wife to get out of the vehicle. Yep the wire snapped and the tackle went through his windscreen and the top of the seat wife had been in! Fortunately he had gone with his gut instinct in asking her to get out. Again thank you for your comments. Ray

what is the type and size of the carabiner at 1:25?

@RayGoodwinCanoe 2 года назад

That is a HMS carabiner. that is a type not a brand. that particular one will be dmmwales.com/climbing-products/locking-carabiners/shadow-hms They now do them coloured. Many manufacturers will do HMS carabiners. Hope that helps. Ray

@linapatel4341 4 года назад

Sorry about the little stream. I was a bit noisy.

@RayGoodwinCanoe 4 года назад

Yep but you did a good job with the framing. The sound issues are a big learning thing for both of us.

@Mainepolingguide 4 года назад

So is a vector pull stronger than a z drag?

@RayGoodwinCanoe 4 года назад

Hi Lisa, the pig rig shown is a 4:1 so is stronger than the Z-drag which is a 3:1. A vector pull can be used with either to apply yet more force. But the vector pull depends on the fact that the rope it acting on is already taut from Z-drag or pig rig
