Make it step by step
- Step 01
Use only permitted materials. Do not disturb trail markers or animal habitat. Avoid slopes and cliff edges.
- Step 02
Pad sharp contact points. Loop and secure the strap around a shape it cannot easily slide off, following the strap's fastening method.
- Step 03
Set the rock broad-side down. Keep the pull low and aimed through its centre rather than tipping it upwards.
- Step 04
Connect the guyline and increase hand tension gradually. If the rock rolls, slides or the strap slips, change the anchoring system.
Check before use
No movement along the pull direction, no sharp cord contact and no trip hazard.
Limits of this project
No rock size guarantees wind resistance. Never use for hammocks or life safety, or handle dangerously heavy rocks.
Take down and restore
Release tension first. Return moved rocks as directed by the land manager.
All lashings and racks here are for light objects, never people, climbing or rescue.
