    Bulldog Lynx

    I have inserted the disk to serve a couple of purposes, first it fills the space between two links so that there is no confusion where to insert the rope through the Lynx, then second when the Lynx is fully weighted the links are under tension and the disk serves as a "floor" upon which the...

    Tis the season, my second great horned owl nest project for 2026

    There are Owls in the woods behind our house, Not sure which species, but quite large and vocal, even in the afternoon. I see one from time to time when it is calling or flying a short distance, and then talk to him. He might deign to look at me briefly . I would not be surprised if there is...

    All but the purpose built 9mm seem to like in the 11-12mm range, It is hard to specify exactly which ropes will work, as there are so many variables. The Bulldog Bone is far and away the most desirable, due to its midline capability, but any and all can be used for ascent/decent or lanyard...

    The Bulldog Bone comes stock with the adjustable brass bollard, However it can be had with a non adjustable elongated aluminum bollard, and the original round non adjustable steel bollard, and an optional secondary outboard top aluminum bollard that makes it useful with a 9mm rope.

    Bulldog Lynx

    I am sending one out to Matias along with some 9mm rope, so we will see his review. My Reep Shur 10mm is way too tight for how it is configured, 9mm can be snug until you run it through and it conforms the shape of the rope to the device, then it starts to tend nicely, 8mm tends like a dream...

    Ok, so the 9mm holds just under 400 lbs. on a single line, and the 8mm holds just over 200 lbs. on a single line.

    Bulldog Lynx

    In the picture, I have pulled down hard of the Lynx so it takes a sort of "set". When fully loaded the upper arm extends upwards and grips also on the rope, so fully loaded it binds on the rope a bit more at all 9 friction points. It ends up being a hands breadth long from the carabiner to the...
