![]() Anything wrong with either of these two riggings? 1. Wrap-3 pull-2 on the left, basket hitch on the right. Basket hitches appear to be between 705 to 775 lbs stronger than W3P2 anchors in the configuration tested.Ĥ Wrap-3 pull-2 on the left, basket hitch on the right Basket hitches break, on average, at a higher strength and with less variability (smaller standard deviation) than W3P2 anchors. ![]() We had concerns with some of the ways we saw the basket hitch being used in real world applications. While Evans and Stavens work was compelling, it was in the laboratory and we wanted to test the basket hitch in real world applications. Inspired by Thomas Evans’ and Aaron Stavens’ testing from 2011, AMRG became interested in potentially replacing the wrap 3, pull 2 anchor with the basket hitch in certain situations.
