Anybody use these is there rigging system? Iwant to use them. Can you use a whoopie sling to attach rings? Or do you have to use a sling thats spliced onto the ring alreaady? What Im asking is can you attach the rings onto a sling without splicing it. Thanks
 
Fishings good. Planning on hitting the detroit river come spring. I saw the x rings on tree stuff.com where I get my gear and wondered if I could buy rings and use them as redirects instead of blocks. Just trying to find ways to make things easier and lighter I guess. I climb everything, no bucket truck. Thanks!
 
The rings are designed as redirects, and with certain setups can be used as a terminal rigging point. EAS reccomends using at least 3 rings for a top rigging point, I felt comfortable with 2, see below.

X rings used to distribute weight among rigging points

Here's another video of the x rings in action. Jay used them to spread the load over multiple rigging points to to take bigger pieces with the Bull rigger bollard. They are a lethal combination when used for big removals.....[video=youtube;7Us7xXj2XuQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Us7xXj2XuQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player[/video]

Why are you's climbing the tree in the video, when you have the bucket truck right there?

Tree was 75' bucket I believe was only 55' so that's why he climbed it.. this isn't me climbing its Jay from Georgia. I sold him a Bull Rigger and he made a video of him using it
 
How about this: Spend less time telling everyone how they can do things 'better' and more time learning how to use an apostrophe.

I was making a observation. Don't get mad because I don't like one of your useless toys.

By the way, neatness is key when making home made pieces!
 
You don't know what tour talking about. Two of my posts and I believe one or two of your posts were deleted by the mods. We both got pm about it.
