versatile and a life saver!
Great security investment for the backcountry. Makes an emergency rappel possible and very easy to use. Even had a buddy even get a snowmobile out of a tree well when he was out solo. He bought 2 for his own use the next day. Recommend practicing with it in the backyard so you are dialed when you actually need it. Some pre-rigging helps with deployment speed.
