so i weigh about 140 lbs right now and i am curious if i could do what the guy in the video did to right my TI?? i really don't want to practice it but just hope that if it ever happened i could undo one tramp and collapse that side ama/aka and then stand on the other side and try to right it like the video. thanks for the instructional video,, i now feel a little more confident about that.
i actually have a 15 lb weight tied to a 35 ft rope that sits on top in my back netting that would prolly fall out and act as an anchor while i was trying to right it, unless the water was deeper than this
not sure if this would help or hurt??
I was going to suggest carrying a tow line on your TI for use as leverage on the opposite Ama, but if you can grab that 35 ft rope, and use it to pull, the job will be easier. If it's on extended Aka/tramp (with you) it's probably helping already.
To collapse an Aka, you need to release the tramp first. From that position you would likely be able to grab a handful of loose tramp to assist the pulling effort.
OK, TI owners. Looking forward to phase 2 of testing!
