• Line or cable. A cable of sufficient length to reach from the object to a safe area (the CP). The cable must be of sufficient strength to move objects that are routinely encountered, with stronger vehicle cables also useful for very large or heavy items. Ideally these cables will be low stretch. Two separate ropes are advantageous for pulling objects in different directions during the same action, or for moving multiple items simultaneously. Cables may often run over rough surfaces and should preferably be made of a durable material and checked before and after use. • Changes of direction for the line. For the line to effectively disrupt the object from a safe area it needs to follow a clear unobstructed path, preferably avoiding touching or running over any surface or edge. To achieve this the line should pass through pulleys and karabiners to enable it to run freely from the object to the CP.
