We show you 4 options of safe and soft retrieval of your friction saver so that you dont damage the metal parts and potentially risk the structural integrity.
00:00:00 - Intro
00:00:36 - Option 1 Pass throwline or rope over a branch abover friction saver then clip to friction saver in the canopy. This line will then be used to control the retrieval. It can also be used to pull back up incase the friction saver gets stuck in a union.
00:02:44 - Option 2 Throwline high into the canopy, ensure throwline comes down the exact path of your rope. Clip throwball to the tail end of your rope above the friction hitch. Pull the ball as high up as possible. Retrieve the friction saver and the use the throwline to control decent.
00:05:13 - Option 3 Tie throwline onto eye of rop next to retrival ball. Retrieve ring and ring saver as normal. Throwline will loop over the tie in point and create 4 legs of throwline to conrtol descent.
00:06:12 - Option 4a Use the tail of your rope , place it over a limb on the way down. Tie a bowline around the part just above your hitch. Descend to the ground. retrive as normal and the friction saver will catch on the bowline on the end of your rope.
00:08:52 - Option 4b Use a throwline from the ground instead of the tail end of your rope, but the same principle as option 4a.
