We tried this method and it sucks. The rope and bag work the best. We put rope we drop through the block and then start pulling it to the ground. The weight of the rope helps with the pull a little. On Wed, Nov 18, 2015 at 12:49 PM, That One Guy /sarcasm < thatoneguyst...@gmail.com> wrote: > we

+1. Mule tape used to be pretty expensive. But these days you can get a reel of 500' or even longer very cheaply. And even the "light" versions of it can pull ~~ 2500 lbs. bp On 11/17/2015 7:39 PM, Roland Houin wrote: try mule tape. fairly cheap & light. we've

On some towers, water towers and buildings it's a real pain to bring the rope up. I'm wondering if there's some sort of really light rope that would enable us to bring the whole thing up, drop it, and then pull up a real load rope. My main concern would be weight and size of 200+ feet of even

We do this all the time. We have cheap-o 200' of white 3/8" from Home Depot or something like that. NOT nylon sheath, that shit sucks. Fits in a regular size climbers canvas bucket. Climber throws it over/down, hook up the block keeping both ends of the load rope on the ground, he pulls it up.
