I was bored the other day so I decided to get the kids out in the yard & build a small version of a Tyrolean Traverse. It was about 100' long & I used 2 BFT for my anchors. One end was 15' up & the other was 7' up. I used a 4:1 jigger to pull out the slack in the top line & used a Munter to capture my progress. It also allowed me to lower the person to the ground. Here are a few pics my wife took. Hope yall enjoy! I wish she would have gotten one of the whole system.

Enjoyed the photo's! Yes, let us know when you rig the Duck! Do you plan to rig it so that the landing is in the river? That would be a great spash down, if it was a hot day, you know.
