Over time, we’ve found this style of deflection offset to be really fun. They have their limits, as with any system, but strength (when properly rigged and run) comes easy and we appreciate the versatility it offers. Large gaps or spans are typically the MO for dynamic directionals. We used a standard A-Frame configuration on …

The Cost of Doing Business with a Dynamic Directional Between Gin-pole and A-Frame

By / Artificial High Directional AHD, Blog, Confined Space Rescue, Dynamic Directional, RRG Gear Review / 50 Comments

The cost of rope rescue rigging and training, much less a rescue, has some inherent expenditures.  There is the direct cost of the gear, which to some might seem like a lot, but in reality it pales in comparison to the costs of personnel and training.  These can easily be broken down into professionals who …

Dynamic Directionals-One of the Great Inventions in Rescue and Rigging

By / Dynamic Directional, General Rigging, Mechanical Advantage / 1 Comment

Dynamic Directionals (a type of offset) are useful in adjusting the main line and belay from above the rescue page or in some cases, from across a gap or chasm. The use of this system usually requires a fair amount of horsepower, at least a mechanical advantage of  6:1 or 9:1, but not always.  As …

A directional anchor is typically a pulley that allows us to redirect a rope; this can be elevated as in a high directional, or low as a simple redirect, or anywhere in between. When we want a directional pulley to be adjustable, we add some mechanical advantage influence that allow us to make the directional …

The learning process is fascinating to me.  We are created unique in every area of our lives.  Is it any wonder why every few years there are new break-throughs in slowing the aging process, fitness, health, mental capacity, technology and learning.  Ever heard of “metacognition”?   I hadn’t until more recently. What you are about to …

An Introduction to Twin Highline Systems In The Work Access Environment

By / Blog, Mainline Systems and Operations, Offset Track Line / 113 Comments

Force Vectors In general, the greater the angle between two anchor points, the greater the stress will be on those anchors. It must be the goal of the technician to minimize all angles in a manner that will still accomplish the job at hand. The kind of stress that will be required of the horizontal …
