Store description excerpt

Do the math before the cut. Snubline turns "how hard will that piece hit the rigging?" into numbers before the saw starts. When a cut section free-falls before the rope catches it, peak force can run several times the static weight - enough to fail a sling or pull the rigging point out of the tree. Snubline computes that force from a documented spring-mass energy model and checks it against the ratings printed on your own gear's tags. THE SHOCK MODEL (free, full physics - never reduced) - Snubbed mode (worst case, the default): closed-form peak line tension from the fall factor. - Let-run mode: set your brake's slip tension and Snubline returns the run distance needed to absorb the rest of the energy - the first tool that puts numbers on the groundworker's art of letting it run. - Outputs: peak line tension with an uncertainty band, dynamic load factor, stretch, force at the block, and force at the friction device. - Every number is tappable - open the equation, the inputs, and the sources behind it. VERDICTS AGAINST YOUR GEAR, NOT OUR GUESSES Enter each block, sling, rope, and friction device with the MBS from its tag and your own design factor. Snubline compares the computed force at each system point and reports a factual verdict - Within WLL, Approaching WLL, Exceeds WLL, or Exceeds MBS - with the margin shown. The verdict reads only the gear you entered. GREEN LOG WEIGHT ESTIMATOR (free) Trunk, frustum, and limb modes using cited green densities for about 50 species. Every estimate is flagged, and that flag follows the weight through the model, the verdicts, and the briefing sheet. JOB PLANS + CREW BRIEFING PDF Build scenarios per job, compare them side by side (snub vs run, block higher vs lower, fatter rope vs skinnier), and produce a one-page tailgate briefing sheet for the morning meeting. IT SHOWS ITS WORK The "How Snubline calculates" page lays out the full model: the equations, the citations (Kane / ISA; Donzelli & Lilly; HSE rigging research; published rope-elongation classes; species-density references), the uncertainty band, and an explicit list of what the model does not cover. A PLANNING AID, HONEST ABOUT ITS LIMITS Snubline is a planning aid for professional arborists. It is not a substitute for on-site assessment by a qualified arborist, and it makes no judgment about whether any operation should proceed. It models lowering rigging only - not climbing or life-support systems. YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE Everything you enter lives on your iPhone. No account, no sign-in, offline on any landing zone. Snubline runs no analytics and connects to no network. FREE - The full shock calculator, both modes, with uncertainty bands and why-sheets - The green log estimator and the model page - Three Gear Locker items and one job PRO (one-time or subscription) - Unlimited Gear Locker and unlimited jobs - What-if scenario comparisons - Crew-briefing PDFs and scenario share cards - Custom rope profiles - Home-screen widgets The physics is
