    The mistake people make is to think there are principals involved and that humans behave with integrity. It is all about power.

    We have so much Douglas-fir firewood here in Oregon and Washington that it is often hard to give it away, especially if it is on a steep slope where you have to pack it out. The labor required to buck it up and haul it is just not worth it. If you watch August Hunicke's videos on Youtube he...

    He took the fifth because he is incapable of telling the truth. So if he answered any questions he would commit perjury.

    Depends on the job. 243 for detailed work and 12 gauge buckshot for the quick and dirty stuff.

    What is your preferred method for whipping the end of the line?

    Cutting rope with a razor blade or knife works ok, but if you do a lot of splicing an even better way to go is to get yourself a pair of carbide cutters like these. They cut all types of rope like butter. I learned this trick from Mark at Fids and Fibers.

    I gave up on getting this splice to go thru my Zigzag regardless of how it is lock-stitched So that is not an issue for me. I just install the Zigzag on my rope from the unspliced end and leave it on the rope most of the time. Kind of a pain sometimes but I have gotten used to putting up with it.

    I will try that with my next splice. I recently nicked my 200' Vega climbing rope about 2' up the rope from the splice. So now I have a 198' long piece of used Vega that needs a new splice. I had a hard enough time doing Vega splices on new rope, and I suspect it will be a killer on used rope.

    Thanks Brocky. I just did the usual whiplock out of habit. Do you think it matters?

    Show off them splices

    My climbing buddy just bought a scrap of Drenaline and I decided to do a splice for him. I don't consider myself an expert with the spLIFE splice, but after a couple of tries it came out fine. I seem to recall that Brocky and others may have experimented quite a bit with this splice, so my...

    I think there is a magnetic attraction between saws and new splices.

    We have a lot of people among us who no longer support a democratic system of government. Because that means sharing power with other people with whom they disagree. Democracy is a fragile thing.
