    HoHoHo...! Maybe Santa Brocks could give you some pointers on it.. I've personally haven't done anything Marlow brand yet as their splice instructions seem tough compared to stateside manufactureres.. However i am planning on it as i have some 9mm rit & i believe Brock mentioned a certain...

    Secondary tie-in for spurring: choked split-tail climbing line -OR- running bowline -OR- ??

    I don't understand.. "it's not load bearing so it's a moot point".. the scenario i mentioned (girth unrolling) would be more likley to happen when not loaded... Or in the middle of being loaded & unloaded.. & more likley to happen because if how large that eye is.. from the way it looks from...

    Personally, I'd want that girth tighter.. or dressed & permenantly set by lashing it or something.. Looks like it could just flip right out with no load while dangling or tangling.. Unless i was trying to use that as a 2-1 to bypass unions, id ditch the 6 wrap, use a directional prusik instead...

    I was gonna say.. Evo you should probably explain what he wants to look for if your going to tell him to drop the only lanyard of the two he has, that he feels comfortable with.. It may be easy for you to tell Crimped vs Swaged vs Spliced..vs...vs...vs... but I doubt he has any idea what your...

    Exactly what Brock said.. Everyone's always pushing the narrative as if it's instant game over if you do so.. when in fact it's perfectly fine to climb on a new rigging line.. Will your hardware work with it..? Idk.. Is it designed for a shock load..? it depends.. Does it suck? Probably.. Is it...

    Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

    Ahhhh.. ok.. good tips..! & yes, i followed what you were trying to explain. But yes, I did notice that right out of the gate.. tightening too much made it harder to pass needle through. So, as far numerical steps go, you mentioned tightening the lock before bury. What if you center bury in...

    I think he was trying to say, even though the pads suck, try a 360 wrap & it may make them more secure.. Is it an an actual buck strap style lanyard, kinda like a prucell prusik? What's wrong with that orange flipline i saw earlier..? All these things are pretty tit to make by hand. Look...

    Ever seen a lanyard adjuster like this?

    Are you saying there's steel instead that rope? "Half steel" Idk what it's called either man.. but I'll tell it does not give me a comfortable feeling.. yeah sure the rope gets pinched.. but what happens when that quick link gets mis-oriented or unweighted... You sure you got it weaved...

    Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

    Micheal's had jack shit.. held off on buying via internet because i figured I'd be golden there, but all i could find was tiny #69 thread & tiny machine needles. It was all yarn/crochet BS & about a two foot section of sewing related stuff.. same stuff i saw at Walmart. Yes I'm aware of that SS...

    Is this something your trying to make $$ doing or a tree removal favor for a relative or friend your trying to help out. Can i ask a question? How much trigger time do you have with a saw? (I'm assuming the whole purpose of this exercise is to remove tree's, right?) I ask as you have to have...

    Looks like you bought spur pads that don't have steel inserts... or something like that.. The stirrups slide into the pads with the steel inserts & form a solid connection. Personally I've never known anyone who uses pads without them.. As far as the tag regarding your d rings? You better...

    Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

    Well.. Jimmy-cracked-corn last night & came up with this.. It's definitely something that will take more than a few tries to get right.. that & the correct tools will probably help.. I did this with a hack job of a needle.. I ground down the SS needle a little too fast & really blunted it...

    Thanks for the update Rico.. So hey.. in a YT reveiw, I heard that the Malaku's aren't waterproof.. that they have something called Drybest or something.. Can you comment on the Drybest? I'm suprised at their price point & big name brand that they don't just use Goretex. Unfortunately, the only...

    Quick boot question

    Having a really hard time trying to nail something down. To be honest, those Stein Werewolfs look to be just about what I'm looking for size wise, as I'm really trying to get away from the huge honking form factor.. when you wear a size 12 some styles can get really really huge.. However, as...

    Spurs and Arch Pain

    @Rico & TreeSmithAK Seeing as you both own Malakus, what sizes do you guys wear & do you feel you should have bought bigger or smaller? What are your typical needs in terms of wideness? Do you feel you should have bought EE wide? Or is that something youve never needed anyways. TreeSmithAK...

    Is that really why though? The stuff I'm referencing is only a $1.50 tops.. depending on what size your working with... I'm talking about niche circumstances where you need smaller cordage but can't afford the strength loss you would normally get with a polyester product that small.. Like the...

    Woah.. lots of posts to catch up on.. Need to ask a quickie.. Why do i never see Tech 12 used in our experiments (100% Technora 12 strand).. I'm trying to do an endless loop with a 8mm dmm fimble & Ice Tail... which is 8mm... it just ain't happening.. at least not with the length of the loop...
