Media Summary: What angles should we accept with carabiner loading and how does this change the strength? I think this is the easiest way to convert a 3:1 system to a 5:1 system. All you need to add is a double pulley and a carabiner. I often use toothed rope grabs for hauling loads however I think carefully about how they will be used and the loads they will see.

Does placing two prusiks around two ropes achieve redundancy for a connection to a load?
