    Armour Prus 10mm Access Line

    The correct splice would a class 2 due to spectra/kevlar core. You and I both know you can do it ;) so best to just go with that then no problems risking getting called out on it at comp.

    building a splicing desk

    A cut-out in the bench for a waste bin below makes it quick and easy to clean rope strands/cuttings as you go. Ps. Did you get your Sugoi in time for the stealth job?

    Going from part time to full time

    [ QUOTE ] What's a free soil sample? Are you giving a little box of dirt to each customer? In the likely case that you mean a free soil analysis, you'd be better off building racing cars out of dog sh*t to hand your customer's kids. As a promotion, it is lunatic and insane, and they will...

    Chanisaw Pants in Trees

    They look similar, but unless you got them from europe in the last few weeks they are probably regular Gladiators. There is a little "Cool" logo under the Gladiator logo near the knee. And the vented mesh material around the waist just under the belt line is hard to see in this size pic. Oh...
