Checking out some rigging set ups to lower peices down and have better/cleaner end results.
More or less asking about the hardware using portawrap or steins deveice, blocks, types of slings.
You need a Block and sling for the tree then a portawrap and sling for an anchor.
That is true, but I prefer the 3/4" Whoopie from Sherrill for the PW attachment to tree, as it is easier to get it tight on the tree and maintain proper heigth. For lighter rigging you can use a pulley in tree instead of the block, but you will eventually need a good block. I agree on the rigging book.

I thought a pulley and a block were the same thing.
I would ASSUME that theirs some rope to pulley or block diameter rule so theirs no rope binding
Wrong again there Clueless Carb. A pulley must not be directly anchored by rope or fiber, it requires a connecting device such as a beaner or link. A block is designed to be anchored directly by rope or fiber. Has nothing to do with size.

There's something else that has me at odds with what you're saying; I've always heard that blocks should only be anchored with a sling/s, never with rope.
Also; At what point does a pulley become a block?

If a pulley gets lots of sleep, eats all its vegetables and does its homework, it then becomes a block.
Lol,
So basically what you're saying is; A block is just a healthier, stronger, and smarter pulley.
Negative it is of a different design!
