September 9th, the day my buddy and I are supposed to land in Bethel for our DIY drop in moose with Renfro's, doesn't seem that far away now.
The main concern still in my mind was all of the "what if's" if we get a bull down in the water or some other hell hole. I'd been reading some of the older threads on the z-drag set up, but needed some more help. I reached out to AKDoc, and he could not have been more helpful with his own experience, advice, etc. I also took some of the great information on here from Kevin Dill and tdot to get my head around it. I'm a visual learner, and after watching a bunch of videos on YouTube, and then practicing with some stuff I had laying around in my basement, it all made sense to me.
Finally got this put together this weekend. 100 feet of 8mm dyneema core main line, 6mm dyneema core prussiks, 2 15' straps, caribiners, 3 regular and 1 locking pulley, all in right at 4.5 lbs. Now, just need more practice with it in the backyard between now and September.
It's advice and help from solid members that have "been there/done that" that I value most about this site. Thanks for your help, gentlemen.
