LRS: Freebell backup device

Kickstarter out now.
KickStarter Link

Ive been watching this guys post about the design process on this and updates along the journey. KS out now for those that maybe interested in backing the backup.

Also interested to hear the peanut galleries thoughts.

KS blew up overnight, so it's certainly going to go ahead.  I'm on the list, naturally.  I'm not 100% sure it will be the panacea we all hope for, as it will have to be held far enough away from the primary device to not slam into it.  But it's worth a try!

It's going to depend on the device. For those of us with Silent Partners, this is the Holy Grail. Goodbye backups knots forever.

Will work amazing with inline devices like the Taz, Sulu, and Vergo as well. 

I can’t really imagine a device it wouldnt pair well with. While it may be a lot bigger than PCDs for cache mgmt, that drawback is easily offset by the fact you don’t need three devices (or knots and/or friction hitches).

A straight-through (or dogleg) version would be nice for those who backpack their line.

Unnecessary...

As someone who has tried your rig and is terrified by it, I think safety in general is considered unnecessary to you. To each their own. 

Just pledged! There are only 5 spots left, so if you want one you better hurry up!
