Like the guys that climb mountains or drop out of helicopter?

Never was in the service or went to a tech school that would have taught me how so where do I find a place on the net, utube video maybe. I didn’t know and my mind is shot right now so, HELP.

I suppose like most good ideas, Id be inspired by nature, the coil of a snake?

How long is the drop?

butterfly coil

BIG LOOPS OVER YOUR ARM/SHOULDER
DRAPE ABOUT TO YOUR WAIST

ONE LAYER DO NOT OVER LAP COILS

Not sure, Yet.

Probably 100 to 150’.

We are looking at a place that needs some roof work on the barn. And I was thinking to do the repair because of the pitch of the roof. I should put a safety wire across the peak that I could tie myself off from.

Just thinking about it.

For that distance a alpine coil might be your best bet. Either way, both should work.
