I would blame Obama who made American Black Panthers think they owned the USA. They marched down a street carrying M-16s. Assassinate police officers. Disrespect the law. Resist arrest...

Finally got around to testing the "Wanchor" in a full pothole. Worked great. Capacity is about...

This is for use in either the TACO configuration in potholes with water, or the flat(tortilla) on slight slopes as the top closes just like a drybag....

It is now 19 months since I had a liver transplant and I am back in action, slowly but enthusiastically. Have done a few smaller canyons, nothing longer than 7 hours. Have also done 126 skydives...

This is for use in potholes where there is water but no sand. It incorporates the Sandtrap with the Wanchor. The pull is very easy as there is only plastic coated cables running through loops to...

This link will take you to one of the early descents of what we just called "the Snow Canyon" back then. It was pioneered by Rick and Eric who first bolted it. Scroll down to the Saturday, 1st May...

I know this is an older thread, but I thought I would comment on the placement of the Sandtrap in the 2nd photo. This should have been a "tortilla" setup,ie: Sandtrap flat and rap rope attached only...

Thanks for the post Hank. I have not been on Bogley for a long time now, involved in the long testing and evaluation process. But fortunately last week I finally received a new(pre-owned) liver here...

Long ass hike in and out. Did it with Ram, Pasqualle and Maria a few years ago. camped at the Chamberlain Road for a 5am start. Ended at the stairs at just after 7pm....awesome rap at the end. I have...

Yo Slot Machine,
My wife Maria and I did this hike 2 years ago during our 6 month backpacking trip from C7133071331713327133371334osta Rica to Tierra del Fuego. This is a top 10 hike, like the...

Biggest crap shoe we ever bought! My wife and I bought new Savants for our 3 month South america backpacking trip. Soles separated after 3 weeks on both! Had to have them repaired down there, but did...

Any input on this knot that I have used in place of a Stoner. Very easy to undo too. Have also done a side- by- side rap off this beaner/knot. Could it be used with the Fiddlestick instead of the...

This is still one of my favorite keepers62118. On Powell. But guiding-lining it with a Sandtrap Sandwich made it so easy....

Anyone know of canyons in Florida? Longest rope I have is 320....:lol8:

Personal preference, I just much prefer a single rope rap to the double rope unless its just such a short rap as to make setting up a beaner block(or releasable figure 8) just time consuming. The...

Mark I have never been keen on the 'Taco" for flat surfaces with no lip. Building a sand "berm" in front of the "taco" is not safe. This has been proven with someone actually falling because the sand...

Maria pulling across quadra-pools on guideline after rapping down into 1st pothole until suspended on guideline. Then a 2 man-pull out of...

Yes Mark, there is a vid posted some time ago. Just search for Sandtrap Sandwich" and it should come up in Bogley, otherwise search Youtube. Tieing the rap and guide to the bottom sandtrap is...

Pothole mania was filmed up in the Escalante area.

We have now done many canyons which in places would require descents into and out of keepers. But using a "Sandtrap Sandwich" has helped tremendously in traversing over these keepers. It is...

Checkerboard is definitely a sweet canyon, especially the last rap! The hike in and long Narrows hike out make for one helluva long day (Thanks to Ram for the invite!)! Rather do Icebox a few times...

This is not an A Team canyon. Actually the whole pothole sequence can be circumnavigated. Just a practice fun little exercise in pothole navigation and problem solving.....

Might be....have never tried that configuration. but methinks that one on top of the other is better. More weight on less surface area.

Sandtraps, potholes, raps, potshots. Nice problem solving...

I set this up to show that a long rap on Sandtraps is entirely do-able. The only reason for the "Sandwich" is to make the pull easier....all the sand needed but only half the pull on retrieval. And...
