I can appreciate saving money and using less gear...sometimes...

The double Blake's system that Tim illustrates can be built simply and cheap too. All it takes is a shoelace and a rope snap. A little more effeciency can be gained using a cheap pulley as a slack tender. Too often people are using rated pulleys that cost over $20 when a hardware store pulley will work.

This system has been called a 'Mini'Jack' in the past.
