    Choking carabiner

    How much do you weigh? Just kidding. I'm hoping you were rigging lol. If I decide to use one of these it would be the green for cinched canopy ties. I'm kind of set in my running bowline ways for rigging.

    Milwaukee saw recall

    Just fyi...you can put the 14" bar/chain on there from the top handle saw. Pulls it and oils it just fine. It has lots of torque so maxing the bar for large cuts is not really an issue. That comes at the cost of chain speed though. If you are doing fine pruning, the slower chain speeds will...

    Marlow vesper

    If anyone is interested: I tired using Yale's dbl braid instructions with a 4-4-5 cover taper. It was pretty obvious the crossover area was going to be too thick to even remotely get a the final bury to go. The cover is pretty tight on this line and the core is substantial. I reached out to...

    Identify this rope please

    That's it. Its funny that every other rope that comes in multi color options gets its own thumbnail and page to purchase. This one you select from the same page. Mystery solved. Thank you.

    Identify this rope please

    Anyone know what rope this is? Was in some donated rope from Arbsession but its not labeled. I've checked their website and can't find it. Might have been from a limited color run.

    Splicing Tachyon

    Hi @ARLO Just got a length of tachyon and was refreshing myself on the splicing vids and resources I used last time I did a tight eye in this rope...many years ago. Came across this thread. I see you still have a video up: The video looks like how I remember doing it last time. Did you...
