Thank you for your positive feedback. I hope people will give serious thought to the variables that led to the disparity in forces. Might need more videos to explain thought processes.
Thank you for your positive feedback. "It Depends". Sometimes it takes very little mass. Sometimes more. Usually comes down to good soft start technique and how much friction is in play between webbing/rope and rock.
Have you watched all of the videos in the Deadman Anchor series? 3 main parts, plus "Friendly Friction and Meat". When you have solid ground to place your deadman, the anchors can hold a tremendous amount of weight/force.
Interesting, I was expecting you would get more force than you did ( a good lesson for me ) , if the opportunity permitted I think digging as deep as practical would help, 45 kg of rock is a lot to move around. My main problem has been making sure the sling stays on the boulder.
There are so many variables to consider. For the first deadman depth didn't matter because the ground was solid. If I dug deeper in the sand for the second test the anchor would have been more solid. My goal was to show a big range to drive the point home.
Have you watched Part 2 in my Deadman Anchor series? It includes some demos of wrapping webbing around an object. It will depend on the shape of the object.
Great to see you posting again and sharing your awesome skills..thanks Rich!!
Rich, thank you for sharing your expertise with the all of us.
You are very welcome. I appreciate you taking the time to share your positive vibe.
Rich, great testing, and clear video. You're the GOAT...nobody does it better.
I'm blushing.
As always, informative and useful. Thank you and keep up the great work.
My pleasure. Thank you for taking the time to comment. It means a lot to me.
Very cool vid and a great resource to put some numbers (kN / lbf) on these type of anchors

Awesome thanks so much for doing this!!
You are very welcome. I am glad you feel you received some value from it.
Thanks Rich, these are extremely informative and a great way to show people that it doesn't take a massive pile of rocks to safely build anchors.

Learning to build a bomber dead man like the first one was awesome !!

@@CanyonsCragsyes watched it, I will have another look and pay more attention 😂
