You just tell the guys they cant do it but if they do you'll by the beer. Then walk away and get prepared to spend money on beer

I know, nearby were 2 wire rope manufacturers. I've seen the equipment, but not in use with tours around. There are local rigging suppliers too, but never anything this big.
