Briefly grabbing the string just after the bag has reached the target branch, makes it stop and start to wrap around the branch, releasing the string at the right time can bring the ball back at you.
Not an SRT method, but gets you up the tree, fairly quickly, without the branch strength worries.
No, I haven’t spliced that one, have been meaning to get some since it first came out. If no bumps or thin areas, probably as strong, percentage wise.
I’ve recently come to the conclusion that the best way to splice this type of rope with Marlow’s method, is to tension the core strands at the...
It is the 8 mm Oplux, I like the similar RescTech better for its firmer core. The top cord is Sterlings 5.5mm V-T X, next down is Camp’s 5.5mm Cordino, and the 6mm core from 8mm Bailout on the bottom.
All the ropes are new, and a little stiffer than RescTech. The 9.5mm CanyonTech is somewhat unique, Sterling gives it a static break strength, and ratings like dynamic ropes. The 9mm CanyonLine has the typical thicker cover and is more like 10mm.
I’m dropping the price for the two to $1.00 a...
The second end should exit out of the same opening as the first, and both in the intersection of four strands. Tie the two together a little above the rope so the knot can go inside a little to get fully buried.
