Location: NW WI | I have a collapsing grapple, it works, but the downside is it's not the easiest to free up if your anywhere with timber or if the wind still moves you and you dredge up alot of vegetation. It's also not the quickest to deploy.
Ended up just tying up a small wood splitting maul head. Just wrapped 9' of rope around it and the wedge shape sits comfortably in the rubber mesh pocket between my bum and knee so it's out of the way and no access rope to get tangled. If I wanna deploy it I just toss it over the edge the rope unwinds itself like a yo-yo as it sinks, if the depth is less than 9' the anchor just sits on the wound rope around- so it kinda auto depth sets itself. Draw backs of this is it isn't going to hold you firm in high winds/current. |
